The VMware Cloud Hosting is a revolutionary managed platform that gives you the power to provision computing resources for your mission-critical applications in minutes, not days. Instead of buying costly, cumbersome servers, it lets you control a resource pool of processing, storage and networking and allows you to deploy server capacity on demand.
What is VMware Cloud Hosting?
In simple terms, VMware Cloud Hosting is a collection of pooled computing resources in the form of servers, CPUs, disk space and memory; each made available to any hosting solution in minutes.
VMware, the industry's premier virtualisation tool, allows us to manage and assign the Cloud's resources to our clients, enabling them to dynamically scale their hosting solution in order to meet specific demands.
Think of VMware Cloud Hosting as a traditional dedicated server but with far more resources available, offering superior performance, better reliability and increased scalability. Clients still enjoy full root access to the server and their own chosen dedicated operating system, but also take advantage of the numerous features and benefits of the Cloud.
Due to the way our platform is configured, each server has full access to the Cloud's resources and is not throttled or restricted in any way; regardless of the activities of other servers on the platform.
What type of Cloud Hosting does Engine Networks provide?
Not all VMware Cloud Hosting uses the same computing technology, resulting in dramatically varying levels of scalability, reliability and performance. Our HP & VMware VMware Cloud Hosting platform uses genuine, purpose-built HP Blade server technology coupled with VMware (the industry's premier virtualisation software), to control server resources.
Hardware Configuration.
We utilise multiple HP Blade enclosures which contain up to 16 Blades per enclosure. HP Blades are servers that are mounted vertically which allows more units to fit into a smaller amount of data centre space, resulting in energy savings.
Our storage arrays employ fibre channel disks connected via fibre optics which are the fastest disks in the world today, and the best way to connect storage devices to Blade servers. Read/write bottlenecks encountered when using classic VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and physical dedicated servers are now a thing of the past.
Genuine VMware Cloud Hosting.
We have carefully selected this combination of technology and specific type and configuration of hardware because together, they provide scalability, reliability and performance above anything else available today. Many other hosting providers advertise their offering as Cloud but in reality, they provide single stand-alone servers which are virtualised. Our genuine VMware Cloud Hosting platform simply cannot be bettered.
Dynamic provision in minutes.
With The VMware Cloud Hosting you can dynamically provision servers from a pool of dedicated resources. In minutes you can configure a virtual server or extend them according to utilization. Ready to use templates are available across Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. Full reporting interface allows instant insight into resource utilization and performance.
