Fully-Scalable Dedicated Server Hosting

IronOrbit Dedicated Virtual Servers give businesses the flexibility to host any IT solution they want. The solutions that can be hosted on an IronOrbit Dedicated Virtual Server include applications, virtual desktops, email mailboxes, databases, and websites. Each of our Dedicated Virtual Servers comes with 24x7x365 US-based technical support, data backups, and the all-around protection of our Orbital Security System (including IPS/IDS, antivirus, spam blocker, patch management, and content filter). With our Dedicated Server Hosting, each of our clients receives their own private physical server or servers, which means that they don’t have to share their physical server’s processing or storage resources with any other business or individual.

Just because our servers are dedicated doesn’t mean that our clients can’t add users, CPU, RAM, or storage space whenever they need to, however. To add resources to their Dedicated Virtual Server, our clients just have to request an upgrade from their IronOrbit account manager. An engineer or technician in one of our data centers will then integrate the Dedicated Virtual Server with another physical server or storage device. We always keep extra hardware on-hand for this purpose so that our clients don’t have to wait for the hardware to be purchased and shipped. The upgrade won’t affect the availability or performance of our Dedicated Virtual Servers, either; businesses will still be able to access their Dedicated Servers throughout the process.

It’s important for businesses to select a scalable IT solution because:

  • Companies can expand more quickly, easily, and cost-efficiently with it. When businesses expand, they have to hire more workers, add new offices, and purchase more equipment. In addition, they also have to upgrade their IT infrastructure so that it’s able to handle a larger number of users, orders, and/or website traffic. With IronOrbit Dedicated Server Hosting, scaling up is quick (requiring as little as a few hours); easy (beyond requesting the upgrade, the client doesn’t have to do anything); and cost-efficient (the client’s low monthly fee is adjusted to reflect the added resources).
  • Companies can temporarily increase or decrease their IT resources with it. There are some cases where businesses have to add or subtract IT resources for a brief period. For example, some companies, like florist and costume shops, have to adjust to seasonal upticks in demand. In other cases, businesses can overestimate the demand for their products or services and order more IT resources than necessary. Fortunately, with Dedicated Server Hosting, businesses only have to request a reduction in their IT resources to undo this mistake; whereas if they had an on-site IT infrastructure they would end up being stuck with the useless hardware.
  • It maintains the centralization and consistency of an IT infrastructure. Without scalability, businesses would have to set up, maintain, and manage several internal deployments of a single application, along with multiple separate file systems. This typically results in compatibility issues, inaccessible “siloes” of data, and lots of general inefficiency and confusion. In a scalable environment, however, singular deployments of an application and singular databases can be expanded indefinitely, retaining their centralization and consistency while keeping pace with the IT requirements of a growing business.

IronOrbit Dedicated Virtual Servers are highly scalable. We support an unlimited amount of users, CPU, RAM, and storage space.
