Virtual Infrastructure
Accelerating the changing market for delivered data services DCWest provides in combination with traditional colocation, Virtual Infrastructure based on XenServer. Just like with colocating a server Virtual Infrastructure gives you a slice of self contained 'computer power', but backed off high availablility SAN storage fabric and processing nodes.
Virtual Infrastructure can be switched in and out on demand (monthly) and scaled to suit your current requirements. Importantly, you can easily upgrade your storage / processing / memory requirements with minimal costing.
We can easily 'blend' your traditional hardware (colocated servers) to offload simple tasks to extend the life of capital equipment investment on their own self contained network (eg. Software firewall, DataBase server integration, Development/Backup system) Our staff can tailor a solution to your needs by utilising a variety of technologies.
With the move towards 'energy efficiency' in our data centre many customers have seen the migration of traditional hardware systems onto our Virtual platform. We offer a variety of virtualisation services that can help reduce both the cost and environmental impact of the computing needs of your business.
Features :
- High availability deployment powered by Citrix technology
- Managed SAN fabric powered by ZFS - Providing high integrity with duplication across multiple systems
- Daily snapshots of Virtual Machines
- Hands-On interaction available (onsite) - Bridging the gap between Virtual and Physical
