Could OpenVZ help meet virtualisation goals?

Could-OpenVZ-help-meet-virtualisation-goals-_16000953_801458298_0_0_14074156_300If you're looking to use a dedicated server to run solutions such as Virtual Private Servers (VPS), a high-quality virtualisation package will be essential. Therefore, it may be a good idea for you to explore options such as OpenVZ, which is an operating system-level technology based on the Linux kernel. This allows users to run multiple virtual servers known as containers. Each instance can be operated as a standalone server, running its own operating system that can be managed independently without affecting any other virtual server contained on the same physical server.

OpenVZ technology is scalable and offers low overhead costs

One of the key benefits of opting for OpenVZ technology to help with this is that the application is scalable and offers low overhead costs, allowing companies to improve their flexibility, efficiency and quality of service. According to OpenVZ, the system is able to be scaled just as well as a standard Linux kernel and is capable of handling hundreds of CPUs and terabytes of RAM, so it should be suitable for any purpose businesses may require in the future. Parallels claims such tools can cut the costs of maintaining data centers by up to 75%, as well as give a significant performance boost to applications hosted on the server.

Parallels Virtuozzo Containers enables near-native server performance

The company states: "Parallels Virtuozzo Containers enables near-native server performance, delivering maximum application performance and scalability for a given virtual CPU configuration." The result of this is that performance can be boosted by as much as 50%, while users are also to easily scale up their operations by adding new services quickly and easily. While OpenVZ requires that a server to run the Linux operating system in order to manage virtual containers, Parallels Virtuozzo Containers also offers an option for Windows, which can help reduce the time and resources required to maintain Windows VPS solutions.

What you need to think about when looking at server storage

What-you-need-to-think-about-when-looking-at-server-storage_16000953_801450533_0_0_7047950_300One of the advantages of choosing SnelServer.com for your web hosting or data centers solutions is the fact you can tailor-make a solution to your exact requirements. While there are a wide range of ready-made choices available, if you need more control over your hosted servers, you can build your own dedicated server in order to be sure you are getting the best deal for your exact needs.Therefore, there are several things you need to consider when going down this route. And once you have selected from our processor options - with choices ranging from dual-core to dual hexacore Intel central processing units and chosen from up to 16GB of DDR3 memory, the next decision to make is what storage solution you are going to need.

Snel.com offers SATA and SSD up to 20TB per drive

At Snel.com, we offer something for all solutions, from traditional SATA hard disc drives (HDDs) with up to 20TB of storage to high-performance solid state drives (SSDs), which may be better suited to web hosting solutions where fast speeds are the number one priority. As there are no contracts involved, users can also easily upgrade their servers should they need to.SSD drives, as well as being physically smaller than HDD alternatives - which has also made them increasingly popular in consumer machines such as lightweight laptops and all-in-one PCs - benefit from much faster random access speeds than the more traditional technology. As they also do not use any moving components, they are more power-efficient than HDD options.

However, there are still benefits to HDD solutions. For instance, one of the key advantages is that HDD storage solutions can typically offer much higher capacity for a lower price than SSDs. This is likely to be an important consideration for anybody expecting to host large amounts of information and applications on their servers. Therefore, what many people may look to do is create a dual drive solution, which uses an HDD for the bulk of data storage, but hosts key applications on an SDD in order to take advantage of the speed benefits of the newer technology.

Could Magento commerce tools improve your business?

With more and more people around the world having access to the internet and the number of connected households constantly growing, being able to do business online is obviously a must for retailers in the current environment. But if your business does not have the right tools to take advantage of this platform, you'll be missing out on large amounts of revenue.

The wide range of options offered by Snel.com should be able to help with this, as you can choose a solution to meet the needs of your business, while you are also not locked into a contract should you need to upgrade.

But this is only part of the task, as you also need to make sure your store offers customers a good range of features to keep them coming back. This is where you can take advantage of tools such as the Magento ecommerce platform.

This is an open-source platform that currently serves over 110,000 merchants around the world and offers a high degree of flexibility, allowing businesses greater control over the content, functionality and user experience of their online store. It comes in a range of editions, including a free-to-use Community version and a more powerful paid-for Enterprise build, which includes a wide range of tools and features.

For instance, a powerful search system allows users to find what they are looking for on your site quickly and easily, taking into account options such as spelling and synonyms to deliver the most relevant products. It allows great customisation of the look and functionality of a store, such as custom landing pages, a flexible product catalogue and specific options to help you build a mobile-optimised site.
