Windows Hyper V Hosting. What is Hyper V?
Windows Hyper V Hosting is the future of windows hosting using Hyper V. Hyper-V is a thin layer of software between the bare metal hardware and the Operating System (OS) that allows multiple instances of an OS to run (virtual machines), unmodified, on a single physical server at the same time. Hyper-V virtual machines are scalable, reliable and highly available and can be managed from a central management interface. A key feature of Hyper-V is the virtualization of multiple operating systems, including Windows and Linux, on the same server, allowing users to consolidate systems into a single environment without losing control, security or performance. This is a true hypervisor-based platform. Hyper-V also offers large memory support and provides backup/restore, system snapshots and easy transition of virtual servers from one physical server to another. Windows Hyper V Hosting is both powerful and practical!
What Does GeekHosting.com Think About It?
GeekHosting.com is beyond excited to finally offer all of our customers and the rest of the world something we have been testing and working on for quite some time. Windows Hyper-V R2 was an amazing release and allowed us to bring you the best possible solution without worrying about overselling or server bottlenecks. Geek Hyper-VDS is a solution that really fits every company's needs. Whether you are the eCommerce site that needs security of your own server but just don't have the budget to pull it off, or if you are the major corporation that needs multiple instances with the security and the clustered blanket, GeekHosting.com has the right answer for all your needs.
Really Though, How Does it Work...
The easiest and most efficient way to explain Windows Hyper-V is to show you with an image. The above image shows you exactly what we see at our data center. You have several servers that are setup with Windows Server 2008 DataCenter Edition, and they are clustered together. They all shared a centralized SAN solution that is running RAID 10 with hot swap enabled drives. With this solution, GeekHosting.com can move your instance to any Node (Hyper V Server) on the network, and in case of a complete failure of one of those servers, the Live Migration Tool automatically gets your Hyper-VDS instance to a healthy Node without any major outages and any upset customers. It's really a perfect fit for GeekHosting.com and our customers.
