Our hosting platform is built on top of the Tabner Technology Platform OS.  Our platform combines the components needed to deliver a solid appliance platform with just enough operating system for it to run optimally on industry standard hardware or in a virtual machine environment.  The core features include:

  • Automated security and proven feature updates
  • Real-time monitoring of hardware and services
  • Enterprise-class firewalling and blacklisting
  • Optional intrusion detection and prevention system

Software appliances and a virtual machine infrastructure enables IT managers to meet their consolidation goals and at the same time reap the benefits of lower application response time and network bandwidth utilization and reduced costs. Virtual appliances are an excellent alternative to single-purpose hardware appliances, and enable high performance, agile and cost-effective networks which provide a solid foundation for virtualization and cloud computing.

 

Server Consolidation & Relocation

In cases of server consolidation, many small physical servers are replaced by one larger physical server, to increase the utilization of costly hardware resources such as CPU and RAM.  A virtual machine can be more easily controlled and inspected from outside than a physical one, and its configuration is more flexible.

A new virtual machine can be provisioned as needed without the need for an up-front hardware purchase. Also, a virtual machine can easily be relocated from one physical machine to another as needed. An error inside a virtual machine does not harm the host system, so there is no risk of breaking down the OS on the host.  Because of the easy relocation abilities, virtual machines can be used in disaster recovery scenarios.
