Managed Cloud Server

A Managed Cloud Server from ISL Internet delivers a reliable hosting solution that aligns itself more closely to your fluctuating hosting capacity requirements; which means you get a service which is available more, but costs less.

Overview

Built on a VMware powered platform, our Managed Cloud Servers draw from a pool of hosting resources to deliver the right amount of computing resources to your hosted applications.

Quickly scalable a Managed Cloud Server can grow and contract in line with your fluctuating hosting requirements. If you have seasonal peaks where increased server load is forecast, then we can add the necessary capacity in advance, thus ensure optimum performance.

The comprehensive service wrap includes monitoring, OS patching, Cloud server scaling, data back-up and direct engineer support. This means that you don’t need to worry about routine server management and maintenance.

Key features 

• Quickly Scalable - Built around your specific requirements, a Managed Cloud server delivers the right amount of computing resources for your hosted applications. This means that you are better able to align what you pay for with what you need.
  When you need more resources we can effortlessly add them to your cloud server. Conversely, if things quieten down then we can remove unutilised resources, thus reducing your Cloud server costs.
• Highly Reliable - The cloud hosting platform is built on a cluster of resilient physical servers and powered by the virtualisation technology of VMware. This provides a highly stable and reliable environment for the hosted cloud servers.
  The software intelligence of VMware makes the platform self-healing and self-aware; which means if a physical server in the cluster fails then the hosted cloud servers automatically move to another physical host with little, or zero downtime.
• Fully Managed - Our Cloud servers come with a complete management wrap which goes beyond simply provisioning and resource scaling. We also look after the operating systems; ensuring they are hardened, patched, updated and secured.
• Support for Linux & Windows Operating Systems - As well as offering flexibility and choice with the cloud server components, we also offer flexibility and choice with the operating systems too. Whether you need a specific Windows or Linux environment, we can supply and support both.
