Any virtualisation software

Whether it's VMWare, Hyper-V or Xen all storage options can be used to create a high-availability virtualisation platform. Licensing is available for VMWare and Hyper-V on a monthly subscription model, reducing the need for high up-front costs.

Up to 10Gbit Connectivity

All products can utilise 1-10Gbit connectivity between processing nodes and the storage layer, providing the option to use cost-effective switching and networking hardware or high-performance enterprise grade connectivity.

Mix of storage options

Utilising a mixture of underlying storage technology, be it memory-based storage or SAS and SATA disks, all options have the ability to dissect the storage layer according to performance and budgetary requirements.

Modular upgrade paths

Instead of needing to specify the storage requirements upfront as with local storage on a dedicated server, add additional storage over time or change the storage technology without suffering any downtime or interruption in service.
