Service Options

Interoute’s Managed Servers are built from the ground up with a focus on providing the foundation for supporting applications and not just commodity hardware. The performance, security and reliability of Managed Servers exceed that of basic servers by providing a variety of Service Options structured from a combination of components including hardware maintenace, software management, and support.

Service options matrix

Managed servers are available in two infrastructure options: Dedicated and Virtual.

Dedicated Servers

Interoute's Dedicated Hosting Services provide business critical applications a platform with the stability and performance they demand, and are suited to organisations where regulations and compliance deem it necessary to use dedicated devices. These servers are built using standardised industry leading equipment; however, Interoute also provides options for bespoke hardware where necessary.

Virtual Servers

Interoute provides a variety of managed virtualisation options and are available within a shared or private infrastructure of resources, or a combination of both.

Managed Virtual Servers - Provisioned by allocating resources from an “in the cloud” shared infrastructure of processors, memory and storage. This service typically provides a very economic hosting option allowing customers to provision virtual servers, firewalls and storage from one of the virtual hosting platforms on Interoute’s pan-European network. All virtual devices are configured for high availability, so in the event of a hardware failure the service will automatically restart on an alternative device, meaning near zero downtime whatever the application.

Managed Private Cloud - For solutions where a dedicated VMware infrastructure is a requirement for additional security and reliability, Interoute can provide a Managed Private Cloud. This service provides the greatest technical flexibility and performance for services. Interoute provides a dedicated cluster of virtual server hosts and enterprise storage, which can scale out as required. Onto this the cluster, virtual machines can be deployed in any configuration within the limitations of the infrastructure and software.

Integrated Dedicated & Virtual Servers - Offering the option to integrate managed dedicated and virtual services into a single solution to benefit from the best of both infrastructures. This enables organisations to take advantage of virtualisation technology benefits such as reduced CAPEX, simplified upgrades and expansion, and dynamic performance for these types of servers, whilst also providing stable performance and supportable infrastructure for those functions where a Dedicated Server is more suitable.
