RapidSwitch Goes 'Extreme' for Cloud Hosting
GLASGOW, Scotland, January 10, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Dedicated host offers HP-branded processing boost for virtualization
hypervisors
RapidSwitch, a leading European supplier of self-managed dedicated server solutions,
has announced an HP-branded 'Extreme
[https://myservers.rapidswitch.com/Order/OrderDedi.aspx?preset=extreme1 ]' package for
customers who want more processing power from their self-managed servers.
With the increase in private cloud deployments and vast popularity of RapidSwitch's
quad core offerings, 'Extreme' represents the next step in a base package for running
virtualization hypervisors, such as VMware's ESXi or Citrix's XenServer. The addition of
an out-of-band management card allows clients to have complete control of their servers
from anywhere in the world.
'Extreme' is packed with the latest Intel Xeon hex-core processors, SAS hard drives,
and built in iLO card for lights-out management and can be completely customised, with
additional RAM and hard drives to suit.
Sarah Haran, managing director of RapidSwitch says: "Technical clients are demanding
more from their hardware in order to fulfil virtualization requirements. We are
continually talking to our clients to put together the next generation of self-managed
packages and cloud hosting is definitely the future."
The package also represents a choice for colocation clients, with the low voltage CPUs
and low-power 2.5" hard drives, all packing into a 1U chassis, providing a great base for
high-density, high-power hosting platforms.
RapidSwitch is a subsidiary of AIM listed iomart Group plc which is ranked as one of
the top 25 cloud services providers in the world by Talkin' Cloud 50 and was named
Scottish Digital IT Company of the Year 2011.
