Dedicated Server for Hyper-V. Part 1.



Версия статьи на русском языке

For serious hosting an online store or a resource that will be designed for large amounts of information with a large attendance, or for hosting in which the minimum response time, for example, to program complex 1C to the number of users up to 150 people in one server (server 1C, 1C customers in RemoteApp mode and Remote Desktop), you must choose a dedicated server. For business this is the best option. Virtual hosting in this case has neither sufficient capacity nor quality work in terms of 'rapid response' resources, and ensuring the smooth operation is also questionable.
A lot of reviews devoted to dedicated servers hosted on the technological platform hosting service providers. Generally considered such factors as the cost of renting, hardware capabilities, service quality, advanced features.
This article looks at those firms that are able to provide the following set of requirements for a dedicated server:
1. Ability to install the Windows Server 2012 R2 (or Windows Server 2008 R2) operating system;
2. Ability to configure the equipment for our purposes, at least:
1) CPU Configuration - 2, # of Threads - 8;
2) RAM - 32GB;
3) the type of the primary hard drive - Software RAID-1;
3. Provide multiple real IP addresses;
4. The total volume of traffic for which the additional payment is not taken, not less than 2TB at a rate of not less than 100Mbps channel;
5. The total amount (per month) is not more than $450.

You should not be surprised that if you have paid for the service for the first time at the end of the month, you will have to spend the second and subsequent payment at the beginning of each month.
