Applications and websites running on a server use memory (RAM) to transfer data to and from the hard drive on a regular basis. The more applications you run, or the more intensely they are being used, the more memory is required to operate the server.
If a server becomes low on available memory, it will use space on the Hard Drive to continue to operate, which can lower overall system performance, mainly because hard drives are far slower than RAM. However, if a program attempts to allocate memory and fails, it may crash, so it is always better to go with more RAM than is needed rather than the bare minimum.
Chat with our experts in the sales department to find out how much RAM is right for you!
Note: Many Operating Systems have a set Memory Limit that it can support. To prevent an OS Reload to upgrade the OS during a RAM upgrade, you may want to start off with the higher level OS edition if you plan on upgrading in the future.

The port speed is the maximum network connection speed from the server to the internet, and other servers. Most of the switches/routers throughout the internet currently operate at 10Mbps or 100Mbps. We recommend at least a 100Mbps port speed for flexible bandwidth bursts. We recommend the 1000Mbps if the server will communicate with other servers in the data center it is located in, such as over the Private network, to ensure the fastest speeds possible.

This is the total amount of data or internet traffic allowed to leave the server on a monthly basis. Unlike many hosting providers, Server Intellect only measures the traffic leaving the server and does not count incoming traffic against your bandwidth allotment. Also, all traffic over the Private Network is unlimited - it does not count against your bandwidth allotment.

Primary IP Address: IP Addresses can be used for many things on a server - the most common use is for websites and SSL Certificates. Every Server Intellect server receives a single primary IP address in a customer assigned private VLAN, and a chosen amount of Secondary IP Addresses provisioned in separate blocks. This primary IP address is a single usable IP from a primary block of 8 IP addresses. This network design will allow each customer to add up to 5 total servers (purchased at different times) on the same public VLAN without changing IP addresses. You may add additional IP addresses to a server at any time in the future. If you anticipate having more than 5 total servers and would like them on the same public VLAN, please contact sales prior to your first server purchase.
Secondary IP Address: Each server is routed a secondary block of 4 IP addresses allowing for 5 usable IP addresses per server. If you seek additional IP addresses, additional secondary blocks can be routed to each server. Secondary IP blocks cannot be split and shared across multiple servers. IP blocks are portable (in whole blocks) from server to server. IP blocks can be purchased at the time of server install or via Sales at any time.

It is best practices to separate your Operating System and Data onto their own partitions or hard drives. This allows for faster backup and restores as well as other performance benefits. It also allows you to protect the OS and Data differently with different RAID options, such as RAID 1 for the OS and RAID 5 for the Data
Operating System RAID RAID is a technology allowing for multiple physical hard drives to be used together as a single unit providing fault tolerance and data redundancy in the event of a drive failing. There are different types of RAID, each with different benefits for different scenarios.

iSCSI is a popular storage area network (SAN) protocol, allowing organizations to consolidate storage into data center storage arrays while providing hosts (such as database and web servers) with the illusion of locally-attached disks. This provides extremely high-speed data transfers through a highly redundant network of storage servers. This not only allows for high-speed transfers, but also eliminates the risk of storing critical data on a physical hard drive in a single server. iSCSI also allows for high-end server solutions utilizing iSCSI storage for Clustering, Failover and Load Balancing configurations.
Our iSCSI solution also allows customers to use snapshots or replication to create a copy of the data in any chosen one of the multiple data centers throughout the country.

A Firewall is an essential layer of security for your server. The safest and most effective type of firewall is a hardware firewall. Using a hardware firewall to protect your server offloads all security filtering previously handled by the server onto the hardware firewall, allowing your server to dedicate its power to more useful tasks. Monthly server bandwidth is recorded at the server switch port, preventing traffic blocked by the firewall from counting against your monthly allotments. This, in turn, reduces your costs and the need to pay for blocked, undesired traffic.
Note: The chosen speed of the hardware firewall must match the port speed chosen on the server.
Note: If a hardware firewall is added after the initial order, it may require the server to be given a new set of IP Addresses in order to move it to a protected area. If this is not desired, please order the hardware firewall as part of the initial order so it is configured from the start.

Our Data Backup service is everything you need to ensure your server is recoverable from disasters. It offers two alternatives, a complete enterprise backup and recovery solution for your server or an Evault File specific backup and recovery solution. This service ensures that your server is fully backed up using enterprise level backup software working seamlessly in the background or specific file level backups. Selecting one of these services will ensure your important database on your server is automatically backed up on a regular basis. Enterprise backup will allow for a full bare metal restore to bring your server back online in the exact state it was in prior to a catastrophic failure. The Evault service allows for individual file restorations from multiple restore points, with a default of 7 day retention. The Enterprise and Evault service can be customized to back up individual partitions if bare metal restore capability is not desired, but this must be requested.
What does it cover? The Enterprise backup software backs up your entire server at the hard-drive block level, allowing the software to even back up files that are in use or changing, such as open databases or log files. This allows you to restore selected files or your entire server image from a list of previous versions.
The Evault backup software allows you to select the exact files you would like to have backed up thereby reducing the amount of backup space you will need to use.
Note: In order to ensure a full, recoverable backup image is taken, the backup storage space is automatically increased to account for an increase of data changes on the server. To opt out of this, select “None” and use an alternate or customized backup solution.

Many organizations protect local and remote logins with a simple username and password. Entering these two pieces of information grants access to company databases, email accounts, and other sensitive information. But passwords are notoriously insecure. Many users choose weak passwords which can be easily guessed or cracked. Phishing attacks trick people daily into revealing their passwords, and users on unsecured networks (e.g. at coffee shops) can have their passwords sniffed. Malicious viruses and spyware can capture passwords and send them over the network to attackers. Two-Factor Authentication adds an additional layer of security on top of your regular username/password combination. Upon successful authentication of username and password, the user must then supply a passcode OR have the login remotely - and instantly - approved by an administrator, sent to their mobile device in real-time.
Have full control over whomever accesses your Server, and know exactly when. Alerts can be pushed to your mobile device, providing you with the ability to approve or deny login attempts on the go!
