The Highest Levels of Security
Physical Security• Highly secure and reliable top tier datacenter
• A consistently more secure environment than on-premise deployments can
provide
• Internal and external closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance
• Biometric scanners control access control to datacenter floor
• 24x7 on-site security staffing
Logical Security• Dedicated security staff and employee controls
• Every employee, regardless of their role, undergoes a rigorous background check
• Employee access to electronic credentials is strictly controlled and audited
regularly
17
The Highest Levels of Security
Network Security• Fully isolated tenant network for each customer
• Integrated perimeter firewall and site-to-site VPN services
• VPNs facilitate hybrid cloud scenarios between on-premise and cloud-based
environments
Compliance• Cloud Server’s datacenter is SSAE16 SOC 1 Type II compliant
18
Designed for Reliability, Flexibility & Scalability
Capacity, scalability, and resource allocation• Provision a maximum of 8 CPU cores, 1TB of storage, 32GBs of RAM
• Add resources to your cloud in minutes from within the control panel
• Platform is sized for performance, NOT density
Highly available • VMware HA Active-Active clustering & N+1 component redundancy at
server, storage and network layers
• Datacenter with redundant network topology, UPS and generator backups; redundant HVAC; and fire detection & suppression systems
Choice of optimized images• Windows 2008 Enterprise 32bit or Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64bit

Scalability and Disk Management
20
• Storage can be easily upgraded
• Storage can be allocated to one or more disks
• As a best practice, Volatile and Non-Volatile data should be separated across multiple disks
• Adding or expanding disks will add RAW disk space to the server
• If a disk was upgraded, the existing partition can be expanded using “Extend Partition” option
• If a new disk is added, it needs to be “Initialized”, set “Online” and then formatted
21

Manage your server as if you were on-site• Visualize the OS startup screen
• Diagnose system errors
• Control the server through its native graphical user interface
• Access and troubleshoot your server when Terminal Server is not up and running
• Access power management capabilities
• Mount local CD/DVD/ISO to Cloud Server
Details• Requires installation of the VMware Remote Console Plugin
(available for download from within the control panel)
• IE8+ and Firefox browsers are currently supported
• Console does not work over proxies, so please disable them
22
Simplify Monitoring with Resource Utilization Alerts• Key resource information lets you predict your needs
• Resources are averaged over a 24 hour period
• Yellow and red alerts are provided for CPU, memory or storage usage above 70% and 90% respectively
23
