Features
Utility Hosting
Utility Hosting provides immediate access to virtual servers and storage, based on a hardware platform that you share with other Telstra customers. The latest virtualisation technologies deliver computing resources from a blade server environment. You can easily scale your resources to meet demand fluctuations in the shortest possible time – with minimal cost.
Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated Hosting provides a range of highly-secure, physical server platforms that are dedicated to your usage. You can choose a Self-Managed Server, Managed Virtual Server or Managed Physical Server. Dedicated blade servers can also be virtualised if required. Hypervisor service can be added, which enables you to manage your own virtualised server configuration. Turn your services off and on as you need. This reduces your total cost of ownership and carbon footprint. You also benefit from around-the-clock monitoring and support, as well as a range of storage, backup / restore and security options.
