What are cloud servers?

ISWest cloud servers consist of a pool of highly redundant servers and storage available in custom configurations to fit a client’s need. ISWest’s cloud delivers an environment that can scale quickly and dynamically as your business needs grow. With ISWest providing your infrastructure-as-a-service (IAAS) you’ll never need to worry about buying new hardware to handle an increase in demand.

Cloud security ensures the safety of you equipment

Unlike other cloud offerings, all ISWest cloud servers are segmented on a clients-by-client basis. As an ISWest cloud client, you are assigned a unique VLAN (virtual network) that completely separates your traffic from other ISWest clients. In addition to a virtual network, every ISWest cloud client is assigned a dedicated virtual firewall which can be customized to fit your needs. This dedicated firewall will not only protect your cloud servers, but can also provide VPN capability to connect your office directly to your private cloud.

Flexible pricing means that you save money

Typical servers utilize less than 40 percent of their capability, but you still pay 100 percent of the cost. With an ISWest cloud server, you can tailor resources like processing power, memory and storage in a way that fits your business needs. Pay for what you need and not a penny more, but when the time comes and you need more capacity, you can easily add additional virtual servers, or additional resources to existing servers.

Customizable servers and templates for fast and scaling

Any ISWest cloud server can be easily converted into a template to be used for additional deployments. If you need to scale quickly, we can take your existing cloud server and clone it. This means that deploying additional servers is faster and easier. Already have your own virtual server you would like us to import? No problem, the ISWest staff can work with you to convert your existing virtual machines to an ISWest cloud instance.

High Availability to ensure business continuity

By running your server on ISWest’s pool of enterprise-class server, routing and storage systems, you are ensuring that your mission-critical applications will be available when you need them. Housed in our state-of-the-art Data Centers, ISWest’s cloud delivers an environment that is as scalable and flexible as your business. Where a single server can fail, ISWest cloud servers can provide high availability, because resources are pooled between systems. Even if a single or multiple systems fail, your cloud instance will be automatically recovered on a new system, backed up and running in minutes. And unlike other providers, load balancing between nodes and high availability are included at no additional cost.

Hybrid hosting offers the best of both worlds

Even though cloud servers provide many benefits, it may not meet your requirements. So if you have need for a dedicated server, then ISWest can provide you with a hybrid hosting solution. This allows you to mix and match a server dedicated just for you with your ISWest cloud servers. Whether it is a regulatory requirement or a custom hardware need, the ISWest staff can custom build a server for you and integrate it directly into your private ISWest cloud.
