XWeb Managed Private Cloud

Experience Cloud Hosting in a private managed environment with the help of XWeb and VMware®

Expanding on our reputation for keeping an eye toward development and partnerships that will benefit our customers, we have teamed with VMware® to provide a Private Cloud hosting environment that will change the way you do business! Imagine the capability to develop your own virtual data center in which you can create highly available cloud hosting environments with the click of a button. Now imagine this powerful hosting development representing a 50% to 70% cost savings over what it previously cost you to manage the hosting of your critical enterprise applications. Combining the security and service XWeb has used to carve a well-respected niche in the managed hosting market with the virtualization technology boasted by VMware®, has made this hosting development a reality.

Managed Private Cloud hosting is the result of fusing the power of managed dedicated hosting with the limitless possibility of cloud hosting. In essence, all you need to do to launch an entire virtual data center of your own is to relate the needs of your project to our specialized engineers who will then design a powerful environment, custom built to your specifications. From there, you take the reigns, making the call on deploying or destroying virtual servers, using any operating system you desire --even multiple operating systems within the same server-- and modifying their capacity to your exact needs at any given time.

By teaming with VMware®, we have unlocked a smorgasbord of previously unavailable features. Amongst the business tools that will now be available to customers opting for Private Managed Hosting will be:

- Access to advanced VMware® features such as vMotion, Storage vMotion, Hot Memory Add, Fault Tolerance, Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), Public and Private Virtual Networking and many more!
- The ability to proactively see availability problems before they occur Develop intelligent solutions and design scenarios for virtualization in order to mitigate potential performance issues and disruptions
- Monitor your capacity and ensure you're equipped to meet any possible Service Level Agreement
- Utilize unmatched disaster protection and site migration technologies
- Perform cost avoidance and justification tests to optimize the utilization of your resources and avoid paying for more than you need
