Virtual Dedicated Servers
Experience the power of Virtualization with NaviSite’s VMware based Virtual Servers
The increased demand for reliability, security and computing led to the emergence of a new breed of virtualization technology called Virtual Servers (Virtual Servers). Virtual Servers is built upon an enterprise technology dubbed as the 'hypervisor.' whichenables the customer to have greater control and flexibility by providing each Virtual Server machine with a dedicated OS instance, thereby eliminating the security and stability issues that come with a typical Virtual Private Server (VPS) setup. The diagram below helps explain the fundamental architecture difference between the two technologies - VPS and Virtual Servers.
NaviSite's Dedicated Hosting solutions offer Virtual Server solutions that are based on the next generation of hypervisor technology from VMware.
VMware ESX Infrastructure is much more robust technology trusted the world over to enable virtualization. This offering was designed keeping in mind the expanding security, reliability and performance expectations of the customer in mind. These packages offer a much higher level of computing power, reliability and security than a normal Virtual Private Server (VPS). This can be attributed to a lower density of virtual machines per server, an enterprise grade utility platform powered by HP blade servers with dozens of processors and RAM chips. Each Virtual Server comes bundled with truly scalable storage using EMC's enterprise SAN technology.
