Introducing Affordable High Availability (AHA) Hosting!
We understand how uptime and performance are important for you. In our continuing attempt to improve our services to you, we are proud to
introduce our new product "Affordable High Availability (AHA) Hosting" to be made available to all HSphere shared, reseller hosting, private reseller hosting accounts and HSphere managed dedicated servers (available in Linux and Windows platforms only). Over US$160,000 in capital and man-hours has been invested in this project over the last two years and with this email we are ready to bring this product to you NOW. Tapping into an already well developed virtualization technology our AHA Hosting is based on Citrix's XenServer Essential Platinum and Dell EqualLogic's PS5500E iSCSI storage array. This combination takes advantage of virtualization on both the server and storage layers. Both the server and storage virtualization are built to offer you the following advantages:
To ensure redundancy, our AHA Hosting will be N+1 redundant. We will have at least one physical server acting as a fail-over standby server, redundant network switches, and redundant iSCSI switches. The EqualLogic storage array is fully redundant with N+1 power supplies, dual controllers, 48 drives in RAID and multiple HOT spare drives. Any one of these component (server, network switch, and iSCSI switch, iSCSI storage controller, iSCSI storage power supply, iSCSI storage hard drive) may fail and no service will be impacted. We are so confident with our new setup that we will be increasing our uptime guarantee on our hardware infrastructure from 99.9% to 99.95% effective immediately with a further increase possible in the near future. AHA Hosting will be readily available to new customers. All current customers (HSphere shared and reseller hosting in both Linux and Windows platforms) will be converted into AHA Hosting automatically within the next three weeks starting this Wednesday (07/29/2009). Customers with private physical servers may request to have their servers upgraded/converted to our new setup to take advantage of the High Availability feature. A separate email will be sent detailing the conversion plan to our AHA Hosting. Of course, with this new AHA Hosting we will also soon release new Bigger and Better plans. Separate announcement will be sent to introduce our new hosting plans. With the new AHA Hosting, your service level will increase but your hosting fee will not. It is time for you to enjoy our new Affordable High Availability Hosting. AHA! It is our way to improve our services to you.
