Virtual Machine InfrastructureWe provide high performance Virtual Servers & Virtual Hosting for mission-critical applications, in Australia on our award winning Virtual Machine Infrastructure (VMI). Implementing this VPS hosting platform has taken years of patience and determination to be the best. We are a leading service provider for Australia VPS hosting solutions currently supporting hundreds of businesses around Australia. About Virtualisation Virtualisation is a technique of splitting up the physical resources of a computer system and creating multiple "Virtual Servers". Each Virtual Server is completely independent of the other VPS's and can run it's own Operating System and Applications. Virtualisation Technology We have implemented what we consider the most resource efficient, stable, scalable and cost-efficient virtualisation technology available. Our VPS hosting solution based on Parallels Virtuozzo® technology provides the incredible performance, scalability & high availability needed for mission-critical hosting purposes. Our software VPS hosting solution based on Parallels Virtuozzo® offers near “bare-metal” performance of Virtual Servers by allowing direct access to the physical hardware unlike traditional Hypervisor solutions such as Citrix XenServer®. Our Virtual Servers are configured with "Reserved Resources" which is the amount of physical memory & processor usage reserved for a particular VPS. Virtual Servers, however, can burst beyond their Reserved Resources and even utilise the full power of the physical hardware. Entity Data is fanatical about ensuring the highest possible performance of our Virtual Hosting farm, for this reason we do not over commit our hardware nodes and strictly follow contention ratio's ensuring maximum performance of each and every Australia VPS.
Redundancy We consistently deliver "5 Nines Availability" (99.999% uptime) of our VPS hosting infrastructure. We can achieve this level of high availability due to our massive investment in the latest technology and commitment to have an industry leading platform. By utilising clustering technology, SAN storage, BGP4 routing, and dedicated standby hardware nodes, Virtual Servers can failover to another server or even another physical site in the event of a fault or major disaster. Benefits Virtualisation provides a platform suitable for hosting mission critical applications with extremely high availability at a much lower price than traditional dedicated solutions.
Our Servers
Storage We never host Virtual Servers on local server storage, all our hardware nodes contain Qlogic (QLE2462) HBA Cards and are connected into our 4 Gigabit/s Fibre Channel SAN Fabric. This configuration allows for extremely high performance, centralised backups, and very fast failover / live migration of Virtual Servers between hardware nodes. Our Fibre Channel SAN Fabric is capable of 4 Gigabit/s throughput with 4 x Brocade SW200E Fibre Channel Switches currently connecting two EMC Clariion CX3 storage arrays with over 30 TB RAID10 storage for maximum read/write performance. Array disks are 15,000 RPM Serial Attached SCSI with multiple hot spares in each group. Network Our network infrastructure is perhaps one of the key advantages that we have over our competition. Our Australia VPS hosting infrastructure is multi-homed with transit links into three major carriers, including, Powertel, Optus and peering with PIPE Networks. We maintain redundant appliances and redundant fibre links between all devices ensuring that a failure of any one device will not bring down our network. We do not cap bandwidth to any of our customer servers which means customers can enjoy very high speeds. For more information on our network and data centre facilities click here. Uses Our Virtual Servers are most commonly purchased by businesses for Virtual hosting purposes, however you can use your Virtual Server for any purpose, as long as it does not violate our Acceptable Use Policy. Entity Virtual Servers are great for use as a:
Operating Systems During the VPS online ordering process you'll be asked to choose from a list of Operating Systems -- we can deploy these Operating Systems from our standard templates in just a matter of minutes. Supported Operating Systems:
Parallels Power Panel We provide customers with a powerful web based utility that allows management of their VPS on the hardware node itself, just some of the functions that can be performed through Power Panel:
Statistics Our proprietary statistics system based on Cisco Netflow technology allows customers to monitor traffic on their assigned IP addresses as the packets pass through our edge routers. This system is also capable of sending alerts when customers reach 80% of their prepaid traffic quota. Backups Customers have the ability to backup their Virtual Servers manually themselves through Power Panel, however we also offer scheduled backup services as an optional addon which will backup the VPS every morning between the hours of 12am and 5am onto a remote storage array. In the event of a disaster a customer can restore their Virtual Server through Power Panel from the previous day backup. Additional Services:
