Virtual Servers

Coreix hosts VPS's on our hypervisor platforms which are managed by Coreix. Regardless of management, the VPS user gets the maximum administrative privileges, including root access, the highest level that allows you to install the operating system and other software on the computer.

VPS versus Public Cloud

There are some common characteristics of cloud and VPS in that both VPS and public cloud are based on physical servers and virtualisation systems. The key distinctions are as follows:

• Scalability

Each VPS is technically self-sufficient and is a closed system which means that you cannot change the configuration of the virtual machine by yourself. 

• Information Security

VDS has only basic data center protection and the security that the user applies themselves. Nevertheless, a cloud resource pool is protected by the Information Security systems of the cloud, in addition to defending the data center security system and your data protection tools.

• Resiliency

VDS solutions are less resilient by default, however, resiliency can be engineered into any environment.

These technical nuances explain the technological and the price distinction between VPS and public cloud solutions. Nevertheless the above benefits and disadvtanges can be mitigated with sufficient technical knowledge.
