Xen Returns!
As many of our older customers know we were once entirely Xen committed and in 2008 we moved our focus away from Xen in favour of Virtuozzo. We don’t regret that decision and we’re running a very successful virtualisation service based on Virtuozzo. However there has been a very large number of customers who specifically look for a Xen VPS and cannot be persuaded to consider other technologies.
Due to our reluctance to hand all this business to our competitors and considering that we already maintain a large XenServer Enterprise cluster and have all the experience in-house we’ve decided to start once again accepting orders for Xen. We’ve just recently purchased six new DELL Poweredge 2950 Series III servers with 16 Gigabytes of RAM each and set them up with XenServer Enterprise.
Our developers have also started working on a proprietary control panel for managing the Xen VPS’s on the hardware nodes, our initial release of the control panel will allow simple functions such as rebooting the VPS with future releases intended to support full console access.
