Cirrus Tech has announced the launch of its Xen VM hosting plans. The new service is for clients looking for a hypervisor based Virtual Machine (VM) that will give them a more isolated virtual environment and more control over the operating system. As noted in the company's news release on PR-USA, clients will be able to perform security updates and OS modifications not available in OS-level virtualization technologies such as Virtuozzo.
Cirrus Tech expands services in to the virtualized hosting market.
"Each Xen VM is allotted a guaranteed part of the server’s resources such as RAM, disk space, and CPU. Cirrus Tech has built their Xen VM hosting infrastructure with redundancy as a key factor. All Xen VMs run on Dell Blade servers with redundant power and redundant SAS hard drives. Xen VMs feature hardware Raid 6 which allows data redundancy of up to 2 hard drive failures. Clients can also choose to purchase multiple Xen VMs and load balance them with a virtual load balancer add-on. For added data protection, all Xen VM containers can be backed up with the available R1Soft remote backup solution add-on."
