Each FlexiServer is a virtual server that is "carved out" of a series of large physical servers. Clients enjoy the benefits of a dedicated server, without the associated cost.
VMware is used to partition the hardware into a series of discrete virtual environments, each of which can be configured differently, and can run different operating systems.
VMware ensures absolute isolation between the virtual environments, to provide a highly secure environment.
FlexiServer accommodates a mix of operating systems environments — Microsoft, Linux — with a range of configurations.
Not only does FlexiServer provide flexibility with hardware configuration, it provides enhanced reliability.
Should a virtual environment fail for whatever reason, FlexiServer uses a special feature of VMware to recreate that environment in a flash in a spare part of the infrastructure, and your service continues without noticeable delay.
This is a significant improvement in reliability, and provides SMEs with the reliability normally associated with enterprise IT environments. And it comes as a standard feature of FlexiServer.
