fasthosts.co.uk logo📅 - Company's new virtual private servers are designed to scale with the changing needs of businesses and their customers.

Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a web hosting provider, today introduced a new range of virtual servers that combine high-speed performance, scalability and resource monitoring. The company claims that designed to scale with the changing needs of businesses and their customers, RAM, CPU, disk space, and IP addresses can all be determined by the user and dynamically adjusted. It says that with prices starting from 29.32 Pounds/month+VAT, the Virtual Servers deliver dedicated resources, the latest Windows 2008 R2 operating system and full remote access and resource monitoring. The launch comes as a study of 500 UK firms finds that over one third expect to be using a virtual server solution in the coming year. For businesses, virtualised solutions can provide greater agility and efficiency, and when combined with its connectivity and unlimited bandwidth, offer an impressive business case.

The company articulates that its Virtual Servers are based on Microsoft Dynamic Data Center architecture, meaning that resources are dedicated but also adaptable dynamically and can be upgraded or reconfigured easily without losing data or functionality. It avers that its customers can select from a range of suggested configurations or design a server by choosing capacity, processor power and control settings at order, and are free to modify these at any point in time. By re-adjusting their server, the user only pays for the resources they need and so saves money and helps the environment, adds the company.

It explains that all servers receive the power of Intel Xeon Quad-Core processors and dedicated RAM. It has used Hyper-V (hypervisor based) technology, the latest in Microsoft server virtualization, to harness the full power of the hardware. All users can benefit from the most advanced Microsoft Server operating system yet - Windows Server 2008 R2. Furthermore, it provides free Resource Monitoring via the user Control Panel. Customers can measure CPU, RAM, disk space and network usage in real-time, and so keep an accurate check on their requirements. It states that for business users and IT professionals alike, the ability to adapt to peaks and troughs in demand with speed and at low cost, makes the task of managing a server far simpler and improves ROI.

The company further explains that the Virtual Server range allows a choice of up to 4 Virtual CPUs, RAM ranging from 1GB to 16GB and a hard-disk space of up to 1TB. An entry-level server package with 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM and 80GB hard-disk is priced at only 29.32 Pounds/month+VAT. All packages benefit from 100Mbps connectivity, unlimited bandwidth and are available on a variety of contract options.

Steve Holford, CMO Fasthosts Internet Ltd., said, "As a long-standing expert for Microsoft web hosting, we have taken our time to invest in and develop a range of virtual servers that deliver the performance and strength traditionally only seen with dedicated server hardware. Microsoft Hyper-V virtualisation is well suited to our robust network and connectivity. For even the most demanding pro users, we expect virtual servers to be a popular choice."

Holford added, "The study suggests that companies are becoming increasingly aware of virtualised solutions as an option. A virtual server is an accessible and compelling means for a business to begin exploring 'cloud' type services without compromising on performance or security. The economies delivered by virtualisation are ideal for rapidly growing businesses."
