Virtual Server

Did you know that the power needed to both run and cool servers is over 1.2 percent of the total US energy consumption? In an effort to help reduce reliance on fossil fuels as well as reduce the amount of released coolant to keep traditional server environments controlled, new VPS systems can help our clients maintain their own dedicated server at both a lower price point, and with a lower impact on our environment.

VPS systems like those currently in place at MegaNet (on both client and internal server setups) use anywhere from 35%-60% less power and cooling than traditional server configurations.

A virtual private server (VPS), also known as a virtual dedicated server (VDS) is server framework that utilizes software to partition a physical server in order to mimic the appearance and capabilities of running as an independent, dedicated environment.

With MegaVPS, customers receive the same dedicated resources, reliability, security and scalability of a physical dedicated server but for far less overhead.
