Options - Quickbooks Terminal Server

Infinitely Virtual's Accounting Virtual Terminal Server plans are Infinitely Scalable - 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

Remote Desktop Users: support up to 100 users for just $10.99/month per user.
Virtual Terminal Server is a multi-user plan that allows application and data sharing. Each plan is licensed for a specific number Microsoft Remote Desktop users and Quickbooks seats. Licensing is not based on concurrent users - each user account requires a Microsoft Remote Desktop license and Quickbooks seat.

RAM: provision up to 32 GB of RAM to any server in 128 MB increments for just $2.99/month.
Server plans each come standard with a specific amount of RAM dedicated to that server. In many cases RAM is the component that most affects performance. When servers have less memory than is required to execute operating system and application instructions, that information is instead stored in a pagefile or swap partition. This paging is what leads to poor performance. To avoid this, ensure you have enough RAM for your application. If you are not sure how much to get, don't worry. You can always add RAM to your server; upgrades require just a server reboot.

CPU Cores: provision up to 12x 2.53 Ghz cores to any server in 1 core increments for just $7.99/month.
Each Cloud Server is provisioned with a specific number of 2.53 Ghz cpu cores. These are the servers' processors. Depending on the operating system, these cores may be configured as multiple single-core processors or single processors with multiple cores. CPUs, after RAM, are the next most important component to performance. You may add cores to your server at any time. Core upgrades require just a reboot.

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.

IP Addresses: provision servers with up to 5 IP addresses for just $1.00/month.
While one IP address is generally enough for most applications, there are times that you may need to have more. The most common reason for needing multiple IP addresses is SSL certificates for multiple domains. Additional addresses are available subject to approval.

Additional Disk Options

2nd, 3rd and 4th Disks: provision servers with up to 4x 500 GB disks (15k FC/SAS) in 1 GB increments for just $1.00/month.
Add up to 3 high-performance FC/SAS 15k RPM based virtual hard drives to any plan. While this is not necessary for many configurations, specific applications benefit a great deal from having multiple disks. In most cases non-boot disks can be increased in size without any disruption in service. Price includes both local and offsite backup.

Technology - Quickbooks Terminal 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 VTS plans enable you to install any feature of Windows and install any supported application.

What is an Quickbooks Terminal Server?
Infinitely Virtual's Quickbooks Terminal Server plan starts with a Windows Virtual Dedicated Server, protected by our vShield firewall, with Remote Desktop Session Host enabled. It includes all the Microsoft licensing necessary to host applications accessible to multiple simultaneous users. 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.

All Quickbooks Terminal Server plans are licensed for you to install your own Quickbooks software. Optionally, you may license from us Quickbooks Pro, Premier or Accountant Edition, making this a complete Software as a Service (SaaS) solution.

How Do I Access Applications on a Virtual Terminal Server?
By default our VTS plans are configured for you to access them using free software that is included in every Windows operating system since Windows 98 called Remote Desktop Connection. Simply open Remote Desktop Connection and provide the IP address of your server, and you will see the desktop of your VTS. From there you can run any application just like you were running it from your own PC. Remote Desktop Connection is available for both Macintosh and Linux computers. Optionally, you can access your applications through a web browser; just enable Remote Desktop Web Access. Support for thin clients is included.

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.

Learn More About E.V.E.
Learn more about our exclusive Enterprise Virtualization Environment^TM and how it sets us apart from the competition. When selecting a hosting solution, there is only one question you should ask, "Is this plan hosted on E.V.E.?"
