Maximize Availability of Your Servers

With Virtual Managed Machines, hardware utilization is increased by virtualizing computing resources. This dynamic use of resources allows you to maximize the availability and performance of your servers, ensuring that your day-to-day applications and disaster recovery solutions are efficient and effective.
With complete hardware independence, your server uses resources from a virtual pool. If something happens to the hardware resources that your specific application is using, VMM will automatically restart your server, utilizing other resources from within the virtual pool. Such "High Availability" actions are conducted automatically as VMM monitors server levels at all times with built-in actions that are triggered if unacceptable thresholds are passed.
This "High Availability" solution improves service levels and protects customers from service disruptions without requiring a dedicated standby server or the need to recreate the server in the event of a hardware failure.
In addition to increasing your efficiency, Primus Business Services automatically includes daily back-up "snapshots" with every VMM server (at no extra charge) as well as the option to purchase additional premium snapshot packages. Snapshots are stored in a redundant system which provides your server and data with additional protection and increases the availability of your servers. Primus can rebuild a server from a snapshot within hours of being notified, thus making VMM an excellent disaster recovery solution for your business.
