Mission Critical Performance

SidusHost Stratus Cloud runs VMware vSphere 4, including VMware HA (High Availability) & VMware VMotion. SidusHost Stratus Cloud utilizes clustered Dell PowerEdge servers connected to a high-performance Fibre Channel Storage Area Network, where all Virtual Machines and their data reside. If any server fails, all virtual machines running on a failed server automatically restart on another server within the cluster - with no changes required to your applications or software!
