From our Virtual Rack solutions to our fully customized Dedicated Private Rack solutions, you'll have the exact amount of power, bandwidth, hardware choices and capacity that you need, when you need it. With many traditional hosting solutions, if you want to add servers, you face downtime and hassle while your provider moves hardware and reconfigures your network. However, a Dedicated or Virtual Private Rack solution from Planet Alpha eliminates all the headaches associated with growing your business.

Key Benefits of Our Complex Hosting Solutions

Unlimited Server-to-Server Transfer
– Multiple servers within the same dedicated or virtual private rack solution have dedicated and unlimited connectivity so you don't have to pay for bandwidth between your servers.
Reduced Risk of Bandwidth Overages
– Dedicated or Virtual Private Rack solutions allow customers to pool bandwidth across all of the servers in the environment. No longer do you have to play the guessing game of which server will have a bandwidth overage, only to find other servers in your environment are below their limit. Pooled bandwidth lets your servers share the bandwidth that comes included with every server from Planet Alpha.
Access to advanced security and hosting technologies
– A complete hosting solution for complex environments requires advanced firewalls, load balancers, and Storage Area Networks (SAN). Dedicated or Virtual Private Rack solutions from Planet Alpha allow customers to take advantage of these advanced solutions across their multi-server applications.
Shared Load Balancing for Virtual Private Racks
– The performance benefits of load balancing are more cost-effective than ever with a shared load balancing solution based on top-of-the-line Foundry Networks load balancing technology.

Which is Right for You?

Virtual Private Rack vs. Dedicated Private Rack

Dedicated Private Racks

Dedicated Private Racks are ideal for larger environments which need the ability to grow rapidly by taking advantage of Gigabit networking, nearly unlimited room to scale and high performance SAN solutions.

Virtual Racks

Virtual Racks are ideal for environments as small as 2 servers. Virtual Racks provide the most cost effective solution for customers who require unlimited server-to-server connectivity, pooled bandwidth and access to our wide array of advanced firewalls and load balancers.
