Hosting On-Demand - Grid/Cloud Computing

The Netriplex Grid/Cloud Computing platform is a high-performance, powerful, infinitely scalable hosting platform. It removes the limitations of traditional dedicated hosting by allowing your application to demand more computing power as your business grows.

With On-Demand Hosting, servers, storage, memory and all the components of a hosted solution are available when you need them, allowing you to increase computing capacity in an incremental capacity according to your business needs. Furthermore, the Grid/Cloud Computing platform is very robust and completely fault tolerant offering up to 100% uptime which no single dedicated server can provide.

Why is On-Demand Hosting better than traditional Dedicated Server hosting?
Netriplex On-Demand Hosting simplifies the datacenter environment with a new, but highly powerful, redundant and scalable architecture. This allows you to take advantage of numerous benefits.

• Eliminate the need to over-provision servers - Datacenters today are packed with underutilized hardware. This is due to the fact that servers are designed to handle peak or ‘worst case’ loads, but peak loads are typically infrequent resulting in the majority of today’s servers sitting idle.
• Deploy new servers in minutes, not days or weeks - New servers can be deployed virtually instantaneously because all of the hardware in the datacenter is virtualized, meaning excess capacity is always planned and ready for new server deployment at a moment’s notice. Furthermore, existing servers can be scaled up to meet demand within minutes with zero downtime.
• Enjoy dramatically increased application availability - Not only is the entire Grid/Cloud computing platform infinitely redundant, each individual blade is designed with complete redundancy boasting multiple processors, hot-swappable RAM and many other high-availability features. This architecture dramatically increases platform uptime since failed components can be replaced ‘hot’ without affecting operation.
• Faster application response time - Because the entire Grid/Cloud computing platform uses the latest technology including quad-core processors, FBD RAM and high performance 10G Fiber Channel Storage from EMC², customers no longer have to settle for lower-end hardware to meet budgetary requirements. All customers get access to the same high-end computing platform.
• Full Support of Windows and Linux Operating Systems - The Grid/Cloud computing platform provides complete support for Windows 2003 Standard and Enterprise editions as well as RedHat, CentOS, Debian, Fedora Core, SUSE and Ubuntu all on the same hardware platform giving customers the ultimate flexibility.
• Built-in Self-Healing Design / Disaster Recovery - Because the entire Grid/Cloud computing platform is virtualized, it can automatically recover from a catastrophic hardware failure. While a single component failure (such as a processor, RAM or hard drive) will not affect a server at all, a catastrophic failure of an entire processing blade could cause an application running on it to fail. In such an event, the system will automatically migrate the components of the virtual server to a new processing blade and restart the application resulting in minimal downtime of under three minutes.
• Built-in Firewall and Intrusion Detection System - Since the entire Grid/Cloud computing platform is protected by Cisco PIX firewall technology and the 3Com TippingPoint Intrusion Detection System, there is no need to install CPU-intensive software firewalls or rent smaller hardware firewalls to protect your servers. All customers get the advanced enterprise protection of these award-winning technologies.
• Never Set Foot in the Data Center Again - Each server comes with an out-of-band web-based control panel which allows customers to reboot, backup, administer files, remote access and perform other tasks as if they had physical access to the machine. Administrators truly never need to visit the datacenter again!
