Rebound Networks Virtual Servers Service is a hosted offering that utilizes a multi-tenant architecture in which all resources (network and hardware) are shared among Rebound Networks clients, while at the same time ensuring high service level and isolation. The service network and security architecture are designed such that clients’ environments are not visible to each other. The technologies enabling this highly flexible service are compatible with most common applications.

You select the operating system to be loaded on a virtual server from the various options supported. You also choose the service tier that best fits your application processing needs and service availability requirements.

Today's Business Challenges

Traditionally, organizations have dedicated servers for each application, with each server configured to handle the peak load of the application it hosts. But as the number of servers grows, it becomes harder and harder to keep an IT environment running smoothly
and add new services and applications. Compounded by the fact that average server utilization rates of less than 25% are common, there’s a pressing need to find efficient ways to meet the evolving IT needs of all businesses.

To meet these challenges, organizations of all sizes are adopting server virtualization technology. Server virtualization segregates servers, also known as virtual machines, from a shared pool of computing and storage resources to create highly resilient and secure private servers. Rebound Networks Virtual Server solutions offer a highly reliable, scalable and secure alternative to traditional server computing approaches. Virtual servers are provisioned in Rebound Networks data centres located within Network Connection's Toronto Data Centre (151 Front St.) and run on best-in-class hardware and storage infrastructure. The service is managed by a fully certified team of IT experts utilizing best practices and the industry-leading management toolsets. By turning to virtualization your organization can gain a more agile infrastructure.

Key Benefits include:

• Align IT supply with business demands. Rebound Networks Virtual Server solutions can help you meet the growth requirements of popular services and applications. They work well for any growing business
  and also provide high availability to organizations that are extending their reach globally.
• Spend less time managing IT. Rebound Networks takes on much of the day-to-day management burden so you can redeploy scarce IT resources to higher-value strategic imperatives.
• Provide high availability solutions to more applications and services. Organizations today often make significant compromises on application availability due to planned or unplanned downtime. Virtualization can improve the availability of business-critical systems because the technology facilitates resource allocation to servers when they are needed.
• Attain and improve disaster recovery. Server virtualization technology allows faster, more flexible, and more reliable disaster recovery at a lower cost. It simplifies the failover environment and recovery processes, and makes disaster recovery much easier to plan and test, bringing it within reach of organizations of sizes.
• Reduce the costs of data centre operations. Outsourcing the management of servers used for development, testing, production and business continuity alleviates the need to acquire and refresh server hardware. Through hosting of virtual servers with Rebound Networks, capital requirements are replaced by a predictable operating expense, allowing you to incrementally add more capacity with ease.
• Demonstrate environmental responsibility in IT practices. Virtual Server solutions significantly reduce energy consumption required for power and cooling and provide you an opportunity to prevent future electronic waste.
