Enterprise grade, Managed Virtual Machines.

Neural's Virtualisation solutions provided a cost-effective highly-available alternative to a dedicated server. We provide one of Australia's best virtualisation services, powered by high-end and lightly-loaded host machines attached to our dedicated VM SAN.

Unlike most virtual machine vendors, we do not oversell our product, and as such your virtual machine will always perform to its rated capacity. All hosts are loaded well below their capacity, and virtual machines with higher CPU usage are relocated to hosts with the most resources available. Failover is configured between hosts, so in the unlikely event of a host failure, your virtual machine will be re-allocated to another host, ensuring high availability.

Our main virtual machine cluster is located in the Brisbane CBD, with redundant power, cooling and connectivity.

All virtual server packages come standard with:



How it all works

Your virtual machine is comprised of a virtual CPU, hard disk and memory, provided by several high-end servers (known as host machines), which are managed by Neural. Your virtual server can run any operating system, and has its own dedicated internet IP address, or addresses.

A virtual machine has all the capabilities of a physical server, with the added advantage of high-availability, as virtual machines are not susceptible to hardware failure. Your virtual machine's virtual hard drive is stored on a highly available storage area network, also managed by Neural. This not only ensures your virtual machine runs at a very high speed, but allows each of the host machines to access your virtual machine, should any of the host machines fail.
