Overview of VPS
VPS by ONENECK

• What is VPS?
• VPS, or virtual private servers are one of
  todays hot cloud computing topics. VPS is a
  cloud architecture solution that bridges the gap
  between traditional shared hosting(i.e. low cost
  10-20/mo. virtual web sites) and dedicated
  physical server hosting by allowing you to have a
  virtual server instance in OneNecks cloud
  infrastructure hosted in its data centers. The
  virtual server instances behave like a dedicated
  physical server to the end user, however is
  presented in a highly resilient framework at a
  lower cost than deploying physical, dedicated
  servers.

Overview of VPS

• What are the cloud components leveraged in this
• cloud architecture?
• OneNeck is leveraging VMWare vSphere 4.0 to
  provide server instances running for customers in
  their logical environment off of our centralized
  VPS farm hosting in our data centers. All
  infrastructure is provided including server
  infrastructure, network infrastructure, and disk
  (SAN) system.

• Design Overview
• The OneNeck VPS farm is divided into clusters,
  which are groups of physical servers working
  together to present VPS instances. Essentially,
  we have 8 physical servers per cluster with an
  extra stand by server in the cluster to absorb
  runaway VMs or compensate for a server failure in
  the cluster leveraging VMWare DRS/HA.

• How is it presented?
• You can choose the number of virtual processors,
  amount of allocated RAM, and amount of allocated
  disk (in 100 gig increments) via our shared SAN
  environment for each VM container a la carte.

• What is included in our VPS offering?
• Physical server hardware
• VMWare vSphere 4 licensing
• Network switching infrastructure
• SAN/disk infrastructure
• 99.99 SLA uptime guarantee

VPS Advantages
VPS by ONENECK

• What are the advantages to VPS over traditional
  physical servers or customer owned virtualized
  infrastructure?
• No hardware/cap. ex. needed to be purchased
• No hardware support contracts, spare parts or
  hardware life cycles to manage
• Leverages industry leading VMWare virtualization
  technology
• Highly reliable disk storage leveraging redundant
  SAN infrastructure
• Built in redundancy and survivability (even with
  the entry level VPS offering)
• Quick turn up (no waiting for rack/stack or
  equipment shipments)
• Lower costs for deployment and management
• Can integrate into existing hosted environments
  even if existing environment is delivered on
  physical server hardware today
• Flexible server configurations (pick your
  processor count, RAM allocation and disk space
  allocation)
• Real time and near real time DR solutions
  available with VPS
• Considered an energy efficient technology
  greener for our future
• 99.99 uptime guarantee of VPS environment

Additional Details
VPS by ONENECK

• VPS Offering Notes
• VMWare vSphere is only offering currently -
  Microsoft Hyper-V and Oracle Virtualization
  being planned
• Some physical interface limitations exist (i.e.
  expansion cards)
• HFT offering limited to one processor and may
  have some application limitations yet to be
  discovered
• VPS server must be located in a OneNeck data
  center
• VPS not always recommended for applications
  requiring real time CPU, high IO/transaction
  volume, and some CPU intensive uses (in other
  words, your mileage may vary)

• Hybrid offering
• Allows mixed infrastructure physical and
  virtual
• Allows mixed OS/applications
• Allows CPU and IO intensive applications to
  reside on physical servers in the same logical
  network as VPS VMs
