Cloud Hosting, SaaS & IaaS

Our 100% managed cloud hosting provides unique, reliable and scalable IT solutions to deliver your mission-critical business services from our Canadian data center.

We peer with Tier 1 bandwidth providers, meaning all major Canadian and US data networks are a couple of hops away. That translates into ultra-responsive web hosting and web applications for your business needs.

In addition, we own and manage our own dedicated servers, which allows us to have full control over them. We use the latest hardware to run our servers at peak efficiency and never overload them. Want even more speed? We can scale up with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to distribute resources across their global network.

Our SLAs ensure you obtain 24 x 7 x 365 network and server availability, allowing you to run your business with no downtime.  In addition, we are DNS pros and can migrate your data between hosts with next to no downtime.

We offer the following cloud hosting services: application and database hosting, e-mail hosting, virtualization and web hosting.

We also offer Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions.

Virtualization

Server virtualization seems to be all the hype these days, and with good reason. Why should you virtualize your data?

Virtualization allows for more efficient use of computing resources. Also, using virtualization, we can run your legacy applications and operating systems on new hardware, as older hardware costs more to repair and maintain.

Depending on your needs, we can use the following platform virtualization software: Hyper-V, OpenVZ, ProxMox VE, Virtuozzo, VMware, Windows Virtual PC and Xen. We also support OpenStack and Docker. Besides our own dedicated servers, we utilize Amazon’s cloud computing services: Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Virtualization allows your business to benefit from:

Business Continuity: We understand downtime costs money. Our simplified server cloning and data recovery techniques get you running quickly after a disaster.
Faster Provisioning: We clone virtual machines and scale VMs by allocating more hardware resources (vertical scalability) to them.
Horizontal Scalability: Scale by adding more application and database servers, usually in conjunction with a load balancer.
Improved Performance: Robust server hardware allows your applications to perform at peak efficiency.
Increased Uptime: Uptime is boosted since your data is hosted in an always-on data center with UPS and diesel generator backup power.
Portability: Easily move virtual machines between servers as your business needs increase.
Reduced Costs: Go green and reduce company costs by reducing the number of servers hosted in-house, saving maintenance costs and electricity.
