What is the Cloud?

The cloud is a redundant network of servers and other hardware resources that work together to provide dependable, scalable resources for hosting applications and services such as websites, email, and databases. The ability to scale your server's resources is made available in minutes rather than hours or days, as is the case with traditional dedicated server solutions. All Private Cloud Servers are fully managed by Server Intellect on redundant hardware, so you can focus on your core competencies while receiving a superior return on their investment in IT resources.

How does it help me?

Compared to traditional dedicated server hosting solutions, the cloud offers instant scalability and automatic redundancy at an affordable price. We summarize the benefits of Private Cloud Servers as follows:

Redundancy The Private Cloud provides built-in hardware redundancy by default, without the need for costly, custom hardware configurations or additions.		Control With a Private Cloud Server, you have full, administrative control within your server instance, from the entire operating system to individual files.
Scalability Boost your RAM & processing power to accommodate demanding applications or increasing traffic loads. Our Private Cloud Servers provide the flexibility to scale your server to meet demand within minutes.		Performance Our highly scalable and redundant Private Cloud Servers eliminate the hassles of wasted resources and inconvenient downtimes while maximizing your server’s availability and response.

What is the uptime?

We offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee with all of our Private Cloud Servers.

In what ways does it scale?

You can quickly adjust almost every aspect of your Private Cloud Server to fit your needs. You can add additional processing cores, RAM, bandwidth, and more to handle your resource intensive applications and increased traffic load.

How do Private Cloud Servers compare to dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers provide the user with a non-redundant hardware hosting solution containing single points of failure. If your server is not configured with costly redundant hardware, your website is down until the problems are identified and solved. This downtime can cost you a significant amount of money and problems. Private Cloud Servers, not relying on any specific hardware like dedicated servers, will remain online despite hardware failures.

What is a public cloud?

A Public Cloud is a networked environment where hardware services are intelligently managed via a role based OS protocol with inherent load balancing and demand allocation. It provides a set of resources that all of our Server Intellect customers can pull from to use on-demand.

What is a private cloud?

Unlike the Public Cloud, Server Intellect’s Private Cloud provides full administrative privileges and remote desktop access equivalent to dedicated servers while still offering the scalability and redundancy similar to that of the Public Cloud.

How does billing work in the cloud?

We charge a flat monthly rate depending on the Private Cloud Server you select. We offer the ability to quickly scale both the processing power and RAM as you need it. You can also add storage, increase bandwidth, and customize your Private Cloud Server to fit your specific needs.

Is my data safe in the cloud?

Yes, all customer data is stored safely and securely following all industry standard security protection protocols and resources, including: software and/or hardware firewalls, state of the art virus/intrusion protection and access control lists.

In addition, the Private Cloud offers inherent redundancy to ensure that your files are not lost in the event of a hardware failure.
