Dedicated Hosting Overview

AISO's Dedicated Server program offers a dedicated solution that combines the power of a dedicated server for just you with the most reliable, redundant, solar powered green data center. A dedicated server allows your data to be accessed at high speed without the need to employ IT staff and purchase costly equipment and lines at your location.

 

 

What is a Virtual Dedicated Server?

With our dedicated server plans, you rent a virtual dedicated server that is dedicated to you within AISO.net's infrastructure, connected directly to the Internet backbone. It is like having a physical dedicated server or co-locate server, except it saves electricity, has better redundancy and more. Our dedicated servers are superior to shared hosting or a virtual private server (VPS) because they get their own dedicated operating system and are fully isolated from other virtual servers on the server hardware. As a result, you get hardware level redundancy, you no longer have to worry about having your service overrun by another service on the same box and it is more secure because each virtual machine is completely abstracted from the hardware and isolated from other virtual servers.

 

How it works
You choose the dedicated server plan, select either Windows or your flavor of Linux, then choose what features you want installed on your dedicated server or you can install the software yourself. Once we get the order, we set up your server within 24 hours and send you the login information. You have complete control over the content of your web site as well as server administration. And if you ever need more disk space, CPU's, or RAM, we can increase it on your server by simply rebooting it.

Uptime
Our network is fully redundant with no single point of failure. We have multiple redundant Cisco routers, Cisco ASA firewalls, Cisco switches, Sourcefire Snort IDS's, SAN's, Servers and Internap FCP. This setup makes it so your dedicated server has no single point of failure as well as first to middle mile Internet failure protection, which means higher uptime.

Server Monitoring
All servers are monitored by multiple systems running Ipswich What's Up Gold network monitoring software. This software will take evasive action in case it senses a problem. It will restart a failed service or can even reboot a computer. It will notify one of our senior techs in case of any failure. Our techs are also notified if one of the monitoring servers has failed. This allows us to be proactive and handle any potential issues prior to them happening.

Support
Phone, live web site chat and e-mail support are available Monday thru Friday 8AM to 5PM Pacific Time. After hours emergency support is included.

Extra Services

Server Load Balancing
Now you can have more than one Dedicated Server to handle everything you can throw at it. Load balancing multiple servers will help you grow your applications on your own terms, helps with traffic spikes, and is offered exclusively on the SolarGrid, Dedicated Server and Co-Location plans.

Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Exclusively on the SolarGrid, Dedicated Server and Co-Location plans, we offer a superior, cost-effective global content delivery platform while liberating you from bandwidth contracts, capital investments and operational hassles. For more information about our CDN service, click here.

Gold Image (template) Creation & Storage
Pre-configure a production system, then let AISO Engineers turn that system into a Gold Image (template) for future systems. Greatly speeds up provisioning of new systems. We can create a new server from a Gold Image within an hour. Additional template changes from the first template charged at nominal rates. Contact us for pricing.

Server Cloning
A clone of a server can be created for use as a replication of a production environment taken from a previous snapshot. Ideal for development. Per cloning fee does not include monthly server fees of the cloned server(s). Contact us for pricing.
