If you need what InfoWorld describes as Cloud Computing: “… what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software” then Advanced Infrastructure (AI) Hosting is for you. AI is a large, powerful environment, with the flexibility to allocate resources among clients dynamically as they are needed and relinquish them when the need passes. Because you are working with resources that can be allocated when needed and then removed rather than a fixed configuration, you have tremendous power, disk storage, network bandwidth, and full redundancy to handle your heaviest loads. What you don’t have is the expense of a large dedicated environment that may not be fully used much of the time. AI Hosting is ideal for those whose resource needs ebb and flow quickly, or for those who have been in a traditional shared environment but are finding their needs changing rapidly.

This environment (see diagram) is made up of multiple high-end host systems. Virtual Center re-allocates AI resources between the servers dynamically as needed, based on load and availability. We ensure that there are always enough resources on every host so that if one host is unavailable, the other can handle the entire load without performance degradation. It provides the benefits of a Cloud Computing environment: reliable, robust, and flexible with zero downtime.

On the back end, we are using redundant. Typical of a Cloud, the operating system has its own disks to prevent contention with user data access. Advanced Infrastructure plans start at $499 per month.
