ITS ALL ABOUT THE PLATFORM
Many cloud hosting suppliers deliver their solution running on low end commodity hardware in the belief that the low price will compensate for a second rate performance and service.
ICONZ take a different view. We believe that cloud hosting services need to deliver reliability and guaranteed performance. To achieve this all virtual severs within our cloud are running on high specification tier 1 hardware with the latest processors. Ensuring that the processing power and the memory is available addresses part of the problem but a major bottle neck with most cloud offerings is the disk performance. In many cases you are limited by the local drives attached to the physical server and further impacted by the unpredictable I/O characteristics of the virtual machines that are sharing that physical server.
The ICONZ VERSA Cloud solution set is unique across our industry in that we provide both high performance Virtual SAN (SATA or SAS options) or our flagship VERSA Cloud FC Physical Fibre Channel SAN environment where all physical HP Blade servers are attached by Fibre Channel to the SAN which uses advanced striping and caching techniques to ensure all attached Virtual Machines receive the maximum performance with no impact from other machines in the cluster.
Virtualisation by VMWare
ICONZ VERSA cloud solutions are virtualised by VMware, the leader in virtual server technology. VMware’s robust and secure virtualisation platform gives you freedom and control, complete reliability and high security. That’s why VMware is the overwhelming choice for cloud computing, in use by all top tier providers.
Powered by ICONZ CloudCentres
ICONZ customers have the unique ability to deploy VERSA Cloud S2 servers across any of our four CloudCENTREs in Auckland, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Sydney.
Our replicated cloud server platforms give you peace of mind of application and end user experience regardless of which CloudCENTRE your virtual servers are deployed... more
With Cloud Servers, the 80/20 rule applies
From years of experience we have learned that a ‘one size’ cloud hosting solution does not always deliver the best result. 80% of web applications live perfectly well in the ‘shared cloud’ environment but it is the 20% that need that special care.
The ICONZ VERSA suite of solutions have been specifically designed to meet the most demanding and challenging of business needs and web application software environments.

Hosted servers are of very little use without network connectivity to the outside world, and your customers. ICONZ with over 10 years of experience and relationships with all domestic and global carriers can provide a singularly managed network and data solution to accommodate any requirement and budget.
