We invest heavily in our infrastructure and use Dell Servers, Blades and storage SAN's across our entire fleet, We do not build white label servers as many hosting companies do, we can save a lot of money by going down this path, however we prefer to utilise proven technology which has been responsible for the high level of reliability we have sustained for the last 12 years. Using one brand of hardware allows us to easily manage and maintain the hardware using the Dell OMSA and DRAC (Dell Remote Access Controller) systems. This software alerts us to issues with hardware before it fails allowing us to act quickly and replace it before the server becomes unresponsive. We allow customers who have dedicated servers with us to take advantage of some of these tools as well such as the DRAC's
OpenManage Server Administrator allows us to administer and manage our servers in two ways: from an integrated, Web browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) or from a command-line interface (CLI) through the operating system. OMSA is designed for system administrators to manage systems locally and remotely on a network.
With powerful, remote management and configuration options, DRAC alerts us to server problems, enables streamlined remote server management, and reduces or eliminates the need for us to physically visit the server - even when the server is not operational. DRAC enables anywhere, anytime remote management, system reboots, monitoring, troubleshooting, remediation and server upgrades, independent of the OS status. In other words, no Operating System is required to perform system tasks with the DRAC and the server doesn't even need to be powered on.
All dedicated servers provided by us include a DRAC at no cost, this is one of many features that you won't find at other dedicated server companies.
