With the increase in private cloud deployments and vast popularity of RapidSwitch’s quad core offerings, ‘Extreme’ represents the next step in a base package for running virtualisation hypervisors, such as VMware’s ESXi or Citrix’s XenServer. 

 The addition of an out-of-band management card allows clients to have complete control of their servers from anywhere in the world.

‘Extreme’ is packed with the latest Intel Xeon hex-core processors, SAS hard drives, and built in iLO card for lights-out management and completely customised, with additional RAM and hard drives to suit.

Sarah Haran, MD of RapidSwitch and iomart Hosting says: “Technical clients are demanding more from their hardware in order to fulfil virtualisation requirements. We are continually talking to our clients to put together the next generation of self-managed packages and cloud hosting is definitely the future.”

The package also represents a choice for colocation clients, with the low voltage CPUs and low-power 2.5” hard drives, all packing into a 1U chassis, providing a great base for high-density, high-power hosting platforms.
