Virtual Dedicated Servers

Our Virtualization Services Consist of Multiple Redundant IBM/Dell Servers with with Quad Quad core CPU's, 64GB of memory and 3x 4GB/s Fibre Channel.

EMC Vision

Our VDS servers perform better then most physical servers; all storage is directly connected to our EMC storage arrays through 4GB FC or NFS/ISCSI/CIFS.

Our virtualized guest installed on our shared networked storage is capable of using the following protocols:

  • Fibre Channel
  • iSCSI
  • NFS
  • GFS2
  • CIFS

    FAST—Fully Automated Storage Tiering

    The next generation of storage tiering. FAST automates the movement and placement of data across storage resources as needs change over time. FAST enables continuous optimization of your applications by eliminating trade-offs between capacity and performance, while lowering cost and delivering higher service levels at the same time.

    EMC Vision

    Melbourne VDS Dedicated Servers are host ontop of our cluster infrastructure running Linux, GFS2, Libvirt, KVM. The cluster can scale to hundreds of nodes and will continue to grow on demand. We use load balancing technology and high availability; your domain is always optimized if performance for any reason becomes an issue and migrated live to another server.

    We allow you to create your own prices and and plans! Becoming a Reseller is easy. Our Virtual Dedicated Slice Servers are perfect web hosting, mysql databases, and companies based in Australia that want Australian servers.

    Also talk to us about PTV consolidation. We can clone your production physical machine to virtual machine regardless of what hardware you use. We can also migrate VTV; this means we can migrate your existing virtual platform to run on our systems.

  • Please note for Business and Enterprise Dedicated Servers there is no need to RAID your filesystems as they are kept on a SAN backend which is configured with RAID5 and repliaced to another SAN; however you can use RAID0 if you wanted one big partition.

    • We only use EMC CX4 units featuring Fast Cache for our shared storage backend. This ensures high speed storage and data integrity.

    Based on EMC heat index charts, a before and after picture of a FAST implementation would look like this.

    When maintance is performed on one of the servers the virtual machine guests are live migrated to another node in the cluster. This is a real time migration and no connectivity is lost. In the event of a hardware failure the cluster will restart the guests on another cluster node

    Migration is the term for the process of moving a virtualized guest from one host to another. Migration is a key feature of virtualization as software is completely separated from hardware. Migration is useful for:

  • Load balancing - guests can be moved to hosts with lower usage when a host becomes overloaded.
  • Hardware failover - when hardware devices on the host start to fail, guests can be safely relocated so the host can be powered down and repaired.
  • Energy saving - guests can be redistributed to other hosts and host systems powered off to save energy and cut costs in low usage periods.
  • Geographic migration - guests can be moved to another location for lower latency or in serious circumstances.


    • We use only the best hardware such as EMC, Hitachi, Dell
