Cloud Hosting, Storage and Load Balancing
Whether you need an upgrade or an improvement of your infrastructure, cloud Servers are the best way to get it with no extra hardware and at reasonable cost. Solar communications offers Linux, BSD, and Windows based virtual machines scalable to ensure that you have plenty of resources for your applications. Your Cloud server includes excellent pre-installed virtualization platform, that allows you to order a wide range of virtual machine configurations.
Below you can familiarize yourself with our cloud hosting and pricing. Pay only for the resources you need and use. The resources purchased can be used to run one or more Virtual Servers. Several Virtual Servers cannot share the same CPU core. Configurations with several CPU cores support multiple Virtual Servers.
System Resources Usage
System resources usage is controlled by customer entirely. Please note that while single or multiple Virtual Servers can be enabled, our policy allows no more than one virtual machine per a CPU core.
Data Safety and Network
The principle of a cloud computing is that your data does not reside on a single machine, but rather distributed and protected on another hardware devices. Solar Communications uses self-recovering virtual system to ensure a high availability network and data safety that does not rely on a single machine.

DDoS protection included
Over the last years, DDoS attacks are among the most serious threats to modern online infrastructure. Solar Communications have developed proprietary technology to defeat any type of DDoS attack. All Virtual Servers are protected by free DDoS protection that can handle attacks of up to 10 Gbit/s.

Hardware
Servers are based on Intel Xeon processors and include SAN fully-redundant storage. All Cloud Nodes are connected to a 10 Gigabit network using multi-path and redundant technology to ensure 99.9% uptime.
Technology
To ensure full Hardware Based Virtualization, Solar Communications Cloud uses Xen Hypervisor. Xen is the fastest and most secure infrastructure virtualization solution capable to support a wide range of guest operating systems.
Citrix XenServer server virtualization software is used by Solar Communications to enable a better server consolidation, high availability and completely redundant Cloud Computing.
Reasons to use Cloud
Clients of Solar Communications do not need to buy/lease servers to address increases in traffic. The key advantage of cloud computing
is scalability via on-demand provisioning of servers near real-time.
Cloud Storage (backed by Content Delivery Network)
Cloud Storage is a technology to reduce access latency and increase global availability of your data. This technology will allow you to achieve a reduced page load time to end user, while freeing up capacity of bandwidth. At the end you get more users at reduced bandwidth costs.
You will simply share data of your choice over content distribution network with nodes, deployed in multiple locations. A request for your files is enough for your data to be stored in cache at an optimal location (usually, closest to the end user who has requested your data).
Whenever another request from similar geographic location is made, your data is being sent to an end user from the same location, hence improving performance and the end user experience.
