Virtual Private Server

Growth-driven organisations are constantly building and enhancing their server environment to meet the evolving demands of business. These build-outs often require huge upfront investment in equipment, upgrades and ongoing management.

With cloud computing, you can build an enterprise-grade server environment to support business growth while keeping your costs under control.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) cloud-based server hosting solution provides companies access to advanced server infrastructure without huge CAPEX. With virtual machines built from industry-leading hypervisor, servers, storage platforms and network equipment, Pacnet VPS offers top-tier server performance and resiliency through a monthly subscription model.

The VPS package comprises virtual servers, operating system software and optional extras such as Microsoft application software and data backup. Accessed though Pacnet IP VPN, which supports efficient any-to-any global connectivity, Pacnet VPS can be securely and cost-effectively interconnected to customer offices and remote workers by leveraging Pacnet’s robust network and data centre infrastructure.

VPS is ideal for companies that want an advanced server environment without having to manage the underlying physical components and data centre infrastructure. It can be used to support business continuity and disaster recovery, host new applications, as a testing and development environment, or as an alternative to replacing existing servers at the end of their hardware lifecycle.

With four standard configurations, VPS caters to the needs of a diverse range of businesses, from those with predictable computing and storage demands to those that need upward-scalable server infrastructure to support unforseen computing requirements.
