Servers of efficiency, speed and reliability.
Using existing proven technology in the form of Open source software and proven hardware architecture, we develop smart and affordable solutions with industry-standard reliability.
These server platforms are low noise, low power consumption and omits low heat. This means that if space is an issue, these servers can be conveniently housed outside established computer rooms.

The Procedure
All servers run off a USB pen drive. Once a server is installed, 2 clones are made for safe keeping. The installation is hardware independent. If the server needs to be changed, an existing installation can run on different hardware with minimum change. If ever, in the event where the USB is corrupted or damaged, backup copies can be used immediately.
All virtual servers are saved in disparate zfs file systems. The level of redundancy depends on hardware chosen but there is a minimum of a mirror, and 2 copies per segment.
The zfs file systems are replicable between other servers, which means a copy of all virtual servers can be synchronised on other servers (local and remote) provided there is sufficient bandwidth (generally not an issue locally). The replication uses high end encryption (3des standard) with private and public keys.
The file systems can also be encrypted for added security.
