Following successful beta testing with selected customers over the last few months, we’re pleased to officially launch our UltraLoad™ Shared Load Balancing service and our shared SAN space.
UltraLoad™
The shared load balancing solution, UltraLoad™, works along the same lines as our shared firewalls, meaning you can benefit from the reliability and performance of high-end failover devices, but on a shared basis. You maintain full control of the UltraLoad™ virtual appliance through a unique custom-developed web interface.
This service is available for less than £100 per cluster per month. For customers who need a dedicated pair of Load Balancers, we also have higher-end options available. You can find out more on our high availability clusters page. The service is delivered with our standard 99.95% network SLA.
Shared SAN Space
In terms of shared SAN space, we now have available space on our Dell EqualLogic SAN, using 15k RPM SAS drives. We are able to sell space in chunks of 50GBs, connecting your hosts to the iSCSI SAN network directly (for which you would need a dedicated network card in each host, or two network cards if you wish to multipath through two switches). The service is offered with a 100% SLA if you connect using multipath.
Pricing starts at £100 per month for a 50GB block.
Subject to demand, we expect to shortly introduce a lower-priced alternative using SATA disks. Please contact us to register your interest as the introduction of this will be driven by demand.
