VIP = A FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE SOLUTION
DATA CENTER BANDWIDTH
All VIPs require an additional level of committed bandwidth, based on the amount of data transferred over the course of a month, the minimum and default level being 100GB transferred per month.
SPLA LICENSING
DataYard is has a Service Partner Licensing Agreement (SPLA) with Microsoft, and as such, we are able to provide monthly Microsoft licensing to customers. Customers with Microsoft Server requirements take advantage of this convenient monthly pricing model in the vast majority of cases.
After all, who doesn’t like to save money?
STATIC IP BLOCKS
Depending on the use case, many VIP customers require additional network addresses in the form of a static IP block. DataYard is fully capable of providing static IPs for any instance.
APPLICATION CLUSTERING
If the use case in question has fault tolerant requirements or the need to be always available, even during maintenance situations, multiple servers will be deployed to support a portion of the application, i.e. web servers. In the event that two or more web servers are deployed to host a single site, these web servers utilize DataYard’s application clustering service to balance traffic across multiple systems.
KEY TECHNICAL DETAILS
DataYard’s VIP infrastructure is a core part of our service catalogue, and as such is constantly evolving and being upgraded / improved upon. However, in a broad manner of speaking, the following technical details have remained fairly constant:
- The physical hosts are running VMware’s ESXi as the backend hypervisor
- We utilize Cisco’s USC platform – blades and chassis – for the physical hosts
- The physical hosts are clustered together for fault tolerance and load balancing
- The physical hosts have 10GB NIC connections to the Internet
- Our Internet pipe is backed by multiple and redundant upstream carriers
- Fiber-connected EMC SAN’s provide centralized iSCSI storage
- We maintain N+1 redundancy (at least) throughout the entire physical infrastructure
Remove your digital needs from the shackles of physical limitations. Harness the power of DataYard’s cloud servers today.
