If you have suffered downtime from a server failure, or had your site unavailable for an extended period, it’s time to switch to a high availability hosting infrastructure. All of our virtual dedicated servers and private cloud hosting packages use high availability (HA), which automatically relocates virtual machines from a failed host, registers them on a new host, and powers them on.
Minimize server downtime with high availability hosting
The diagram below shows a virtual machine moving from a failed host to another host in the same high availability cluster.
How high availability hosting works
- High availability constantly monitors hosts and virtual machines to detect operating system and host failures.
- If a host fails, your virtual machine is restarted on another host in the HA-enabled cluster without manual intervention.
- HA also protects your applications from operating system failures by automatically restarting the affected virtual machines.
- Our high availability infrastructure is a fully redundant hosting environment with no single point of failure.
High availability storage
We offer redundant Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure for enterprise-level storage not found in most other hosting infrastructures.
For customers who need high availability, high performance NFS storage, we also offer 10G Ethernet connectivity. Whether you use Fibre Channel or 10G Ethernet, all storage uses enterprise-grade Fibre Channel disks.
