Our Technologies
Onvps development team has been working very hard to create a customized virtualization platform as a foundation to our Onvps backend system. Our technology platform is based on the Xen Open source virtualization architecture combined with a highly customized version of OpenNebula. As the result, we are able to create a highly efficient, robust and completely scalable technology for our customers.
Our Network Connectivity
Onvps network has been primarily designed around extremely robust and scalable backbone providers. Our Cisco powered network has multiple 10-gigabit Ethernet connectivities on our border routing layer. We are working with various Tier-1 providers such as Level3, Savvis, Timewarner and we are also directly peered to Seattle Internet Exchange (SIX) to take advantage of direct peering with large ISPs and corporations.
Our Server Hardware
We are building our Virtual Private Server (VPS) platforms on the latest Intel Based Xeon 64-bit Processors. We have chosen combination of RAID-5 and RAID-10 storage systems with fast 15,000 RPM drives in order to alleviate Disk I/O concerns. We are also a strong believer in NOT overselling our hardware in order to maintain performance of your VPS machines by using Hard Usage Caps on your VPS machines.
