SERVER HARDWARE

Since we strictly emphasize quality and the best performance, we only use state-of-the-art server technology from established manufacturers for our Virtual Cloud Servers. Moreover, we put the hardware through periodic quality tests, so that we can see if it meets our demands.

For our cloud Server offers we use systems that have been individually developed for us by the German server specialist Pyramid Computer.

Facts about the servers:

• Pyramid Optigon 3280 Mainframe-Server
• Intel® Xeon® CPUs with 3,000 MHz, 2 MB Cache and 800 MHz FSB
• 16,384 MB DDR3-RAM ECC

•   PremiumPerformance
  
  Although we setup up to 100 Virtual Cloud Servers on one physical server, each Virtual Cloud Server can use the server's whole free capacity anytime. Because the most server applications do not constantly need that much performance, you can often dispose of remarkably more performance than your calculated share of 1% of the server capacity.
