With Foundation Hosting, we take on the burden of procuring server hardware, racking and stacking, space and power management, managing the network infrastructure and on-site hardware break/fix support. You remain in control of your operating system licensing, installation, monitoring, and management.
Foundation Hosting from Savvis enables you to:
- Outsource the physical layer: Your technicians won’t need to travel to the data center to perform hardware-related tasks
- Change the economics: Since costs scale with your server capacity, you can eliminate capital expenses from your hosting growth cycle
- Control the operating system and application layer: Maintain your freedom to run your own operating system as you see fit
If you are running processing-intensive applications on a single operating system and have relatively simple storage requirements, Savvis Intelligent Hosting delivers a traditional fully managed hosting that is just the ticket. This non-virtualized solution provides you with dedicated, fully managed servers, and takes care of all management and operation support – for the hosting space, the server, and the operating system.
This highly flexible solution allows you to:
- Run a variety of hardware platforms, including x86 Systems (up to 128 core blade frames) and SPARC Systems
- Customize your memory, disk space, and CPUs
- Add Fibre channel and Ethernet interfaces along with Utility Storage, Backup and Vaulting services to take advantage of backup, restore, and offsite retention capabilities
