What are my VMs running on?

At Cloudrack our infrastructure is all enterprise-level HP/Cisco equipment, with full SLAs from our manufacturers. Here's a brief rundown of what your services are running on, starting from the outside-in:

Datacentres

Each of our Datacentres provides us with multiple external connections and redundant power feeds for our hardware. All are Tier 3/4, ISO or regional equivalent certified and staffed 24x7x365. 

Switching

We use only enterprise-grade redundant Cisco switching modules for our connectivity, every location has redundant switches and connections between C7000 chassis, external network and NAS.

Hosts

We use HP Enterprise C7000 blade chassis in all our locations, a typical host is comprised of a Compute and Storage blade pair, kitted out with blazing fast SSDs, high-end CPUs and bags of RAM. We won't be beaten on performance.

Hypervisor

We use the industry-leading KVM virtualisation technology within our deployments, with the world-leading software management platform OnApp sitting on top to give you complete control over your IT set-up.

Network-Attached Storage (NAS)

Our NAS arrays are enterprise-grade, stocked with high-end mechanical disks to provide the best cost/performance balance possible. Each of the arrays is kept separate to the main hardware to ensure your backups and templates are never on the same host as your VMs.
