Overview - Virtual VPN Server

Share your data on our Virtual VPN Server with friends and colleagues anywhere in the world using software included in every version of Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Our VPN Server plan includes a Windows Cloud Server, pre-configured as a Internet file server.

Every server has between 1 and 12 2.53 Ghz virtual CPUs, shared on hosts operating, on average, below 30% CPU utilization. We ensure that every server is backed by 100% of the RAM included in their plan, up to 32 GB. Other features include: Virtual KVM, Virtual CD/DVD & Floppy, and Virtual Power Buttons. These features let you stay in control just like you were sitting in front of a physical server.

Options - Virtual VPN Server

Infinitely Virtual's Virtual VPN Server plans are more customizable than any other servers in the industry. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact a sales engineer by calling (866) 257-8455.

Basic Options

Users: support up to 100 users for just $1.00/month per user.
Virtual VPN Server is a multi-user plan that allows data sharing. Each plan is licensed for a specific number of users. Licensing is not based on concurrent users - each user account requires a Microsoft Server license.

Boot Disk: provision servers with up to a 500 GB boot disk (15k FC/SAS) in 1 GB increments for just $1.00/month.
A boot disk is the first virtual hard drive in a virtual server. It stores the operating system and all applications for the server. It is critical that the hard drive is large enough for all of your applications and data. If available disk space runs below 20%, it is likely that server performance will suffer. You may add disk space to a server's boot disk any time, in some cases without needing to even restart the server. All boot disks are high-performance Fibre-Channel or SAS 15k RPM based storage. Price includes both local and offsite backup.

SATA Disk: add low-cost storage to your server, up to 2 TB, in 10 GB increments for just $3.00/month
SATA Disk is added to a server as a separate virtual hard drive based on 7.2k RPM SATA storage. Price includes both local and offsite backup.

Bandwidth: allocate up to 4 TB monthly data transfer in 500 GB increments for just $14.99/month.
Bandwidth or monthly data transfer is the amount of data transferred to or from the Internet in any calendar month. Each plan comes with a specific amount of bandwidth - some unlimited. In multiserver configurations, data transferred between servers are not considered part of this monthly data transfer.

Network & Security Options

McAfee Endpoint Protection: $2.99/month
McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection Suite (formerly Total Protection Service) delivers essential protection from viruses, spyware, web threats, and hacker attacks. SaaS Endpoint Protection Suite automates your online defenses, lowers costs, and streamlines security deployments, updates, upgrades, and management — all through the online McAfee SecurityCenter.

Access to Network Performance Monitor: $4.99/month
Purchase this option and gain access to our NPM. View current and historical resource utilization. See events, alerts and availability reports for all of your nodes. Customers with multiple servers and plans can purchase this on just one plan and gain access to all of the servers in your account.

Payment Options

You may choose to purchase either an annual plan or a monthly plan. Annual plans come with a 10% discount.

Technology - Virtual VPN Server

Basic Building Block
The basic building block of every plan is our revolutionary VMware based Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) running on our exclusive Enterprise Virtualization Environment (E.V.E.)^TM. Our Virtual Dedicated Servers are unique in that they are both virtual, consuming shared resources across our massive E.V.E., and dedicated, giving customers complete control over the operating system. Our Windows VDS plans enable you to install any feature of Windows and install any supported application.

How is our Windows Virtual Dedicated Server Unique?
Every server has a virtual CPU, virtual RAM, virtual system board and bios, virtual network interface card, and virtual hard drives. We install Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 on this virtual hardware, and we give you access to the administrator account. With this, you can modify the installation of Windows in any way you require, install any software, and manage the server just like you purchased it directly from HP or Dell.

What is our Virtual VPN Server?
We start with a Windows Virtual Dedicated Server, and we install and configure Routing and Remote Access Services and network shares. With this configuration you simply configure your Windows VPN client, included free in every version of windows, and connect to your new server. From there you can securely open and save files to your Internet file server.

Dedicated Server Performance
Infinitely Virtual VDS plans feature the industry's highest performance. Every server has between 1 and 8 2.53 Ghz virtual CPUs, shared on hosts operating, on average, below 30% CPU utilization. This means that an any given point in time, your server will have the ability to utilize all 2.53 Ghz of your CPU cores. We ensure that every server is backed by 100% of the RAM included in their plan, up to 16 GB. Servers are connected to our virtual switch infrastructure at 1 Gbps, and Internet connectivity is 100 Mbps. Most importantly, our servers are stored on our NetApp SAN with 15k fibre-channel disks, ensuring the highest disk performance in the industry.

Infinitely Scalable Servers
One of the unique advantages of Virtual Dedicated Servers vis-à-vis dedicated servers is their ability to be upgraded in very small increments without having to reinstall the server's operating system or applications. We offer our customers the ability to upgrade any aspect of their server in tiny increments.

• Add 2.5 Ghz CPU Cores - up to 12 cores
• Add RAM in increments of 125 MB - up to 32 GB
• Add disk space in increments of 1 GB - up to 1 TB
• Add monthly transfer in increments of 500 GB - up to 4 TB

Better than Dedicated Server Access with vCloud Director
With our vCloud Director enabled plans, interact with your Virtual Dedicated Server from Infinitely Virtual like you were sitting in front of your server. A serious limitation of dedicated servers is that you cannot see the console, insert a CD in the drive or power cycle the server without remote hands. Until now, these were limitations that customers had to tolerate to get the performance their applications required. Our VDS plans feature:

• Virtual KVM
• Virtual CD/DVD & FLoppy
• Virtual Power Button

With these unique features, you can interact with your server whether or not the operating system is running. If you accidentally lock yourself out of VNC or remote desktop by modifying the firewall settings, you can easily connect to our Virtual KVM and let yourself back in. If you want to insert a CD, DVD or floppy, just access our Virtual CD/DVD & Floppy feature. And if for any reason the server won't restart gracefully, just power it down and back up with our Virtual Power Buttons.

Is Your Dedicated Server or VPS Plan Clustered?
We define the standard for fault-tolerance, guaranteeing 100% uptime. Every Virtual Dedicated Server is protected by E.V.E., with features like:

• VMware HA Clustering
• VMware vMotion & svMotion
• Clustered NetApp SAN with RAID-DP
• Clustered enterprise firewalls
• Multiple BGP routed Internet providers
• Redundant layer 3, 10 Gbps switches
• Redundant power, backed by UPS & generator
• Redundant fans
• Redundant cooling

Serious Data Protection
We take data protection seriously. Every plan includes our unique data protection feature. Every server in our environment is backed up nightly by taking a point-in-time snapshot of the entire datastore. Unlike our competitors who take crash-consistent snapshots of their customers' servers, we take application-consistent snapshots. We retain daily backups for 7 days and weekly backups for 4 weeks.

Our Process:

• Instruct the VSS aware applications on each VM to quiesce all transactions, including:
  • Exchange Server
  • Microsoft SQL Server
• Instruct the VM to quiesce all disk transactions, creating a VM level snapshot
• Take snapshot of underlying datastore
• Delete VM level snapshot

Free SNMP Monitoring
To ensure the best possible performance, we give our customers free SNMP monitoring. Every server in our environment is monitored by our enterprise NMS. We constantly monitor CPU usage, RAM usage and disk usage, and if your server exceeds our norms, we notify you so you can take corrective action.
