Multi-Site Inter Cloud Failover Now Live
POSTED ON November 17th, 2011 by Aidan | No Comments » | Posted in Announcements, cloud computing, cloud datacentre, Dediserve news, infrastructure, network |

At Dediserve HQ, we believe in innovating and delivering on the true promise of what cloud can deliver for Infrastructure as a service – so we are delighted to announce another world first -  a multi-site cloud server failover solution with inter datacenter routing. This product will allow customers with mission critical solutions to achieve 100% uptime at all times – even during a maintenance window or failure.

What is it?

The multi-site virtual machine failover process with inter-datacenter routing consolidates a number of servers behind a single routed IP address at the same datacenter as the primary server being protected. In the event of a failure affecting the primary machine, traffic is dynamically updated within 60 seconds to re-route traffic to a replicated server(s) in a secondary datacenter.

In english, we simply replicate one or more of your servers from one cloud location to another. You then point your DNS at the IP we give you and, hey presto ! Your cloud machine can now be failed over to another datacentre at will. We can monitor a wide range of services to initiate a failed state, and will notify you by Email, SMS, Twitter DM or Prowl alert!

You can even choose to failover traffic, to maintain 100% uptime even during maintenance, upgrades or a cloud machine reboot, etc.

The Cost?

Completely FREE!!! -  the only cost for the solution is the second identical machine on the second cloud platform, we are not currently charging at all for the actual solution itself. If you sign up now this will never change for you.

Want more?

The solution, as well as monitoring your cloud machines, failing over traffic, and notifying you, also provides comprehensive Intrusion Detection and Prevention technology, including DOS and DDOS prevention – so your services are not only made amazingly redundant – but secured too!!

How do I get started!?

There are just two steps!

1 – Order a new cloud machine or VDC in a location different to your primary servers -     

 

2 – Order the failover service – including the primary and secondary server details!

That’s it – we take care of the rest and set up all the replication for you!

Any questions – let us know!

True Cloud Portability From Dediserve
POSTED ON October 21st, 2011 by Aidan | 4 Comments » | Posted in Announcements, Dediserve news, London Cloud |

One of the main concerns for most people when moving their infrastructure to the cloud is  the control and portability of that data -  can I download a copy of the machine image and move to another provider if I so choose?

Well now, thanks to our crack team of geeks, we are delighted to announce a beta release of a machine image tool that allows you to take and download a complete image of your server with us – one of the first cloud providers in the world to allow this.

This is currently only live on our London platforms, we hope to roll this out on the other platforms shortly.

To download simply take a back-up of your machine and you will see a green arrow beside the back-up, click on this to download a complete image of your machine. This image is in OnApp Xen Machine image format – and can be uploaded directly to any other OnApp or many Xen powered cloud offerings.

We work hard to win your business, and just as hard to keep it – we don’t believe in any form of lock in or lock down !
