The Cloud Servers' structure behaves like a living thing capable of distributing the load and capacity to ensure maximum performance and availability of your project.

Your Basic Cloud Server's disk is hosted on the Arsys CloudStorage platform, which has advanced SAN structures, offering high performance and availability, thanks to their dual-parity RAID configuration.

You'll be able to quickly reinstall your Basic Cloud Server as you'll always have access to the appliances and ISOs that can be used.

As well as logging in as an administrator, you can access your Basic Cloud Server's console as if you were at your desk. You'll be able choose DVD boot images and make adjustments, or install software manually.

Your Basic Cloud Server is housed in our Data Centre with advanced security systems and high availability. To deploy and maintain this technology is so expensive, complicated and important that requieres to be delegated to experts.

Supported on a common hardware structure, each Basic Cloud acts as a completely independent machine at the operating system level.


This allows all projects to have the most advanced security measures and flexibility in case of failure: load balancing, RAID type storage systems, fault tolerance, automatic recovery in case of hardware failure...

Our Cloud platform has multiple connection interfaces to the Arsys backbone network through the latest generation switches. To obtain the maximun performance they are capable to manage the load and distribute the traffic automatically.

If you're going to use the disk intensively (many read and constant write operations), we recommend using Fibre Channel as it offers higher performance.


If your read/write operations aren't as frequent (even if large files are involved), you can use SATA (standard) technology.

You'll be able to take a snapshot of the Cloud server's state at a specific time to return to it if needed after installing/uninstalling programs, making changes, performing updates...

You'll be able to install the software you need (depending on your requirements) and use it to install other applications (DNS, email...), development applications (C, C++, Java...) and your own developments.

You can set an automatic alert to warn you (by email or SMS to Spanish mobile numbers) when you reach your chosen data transfer limit. This will help you to avoid excess usage and control your expenses.
