How the platform thinks
Your infrastructure isn't just hosted. It's watched.
Two systems run underneath every VM, all the time — neither one waits for you to notice something is wrong.
Anomaly Detection
Your servers have a fingerprint. We alert against it — not a generic threshold.
A fixed 80% CPU threshold doesn't know your workload — it doesn't know your batch jobs, your traffic patterns, or what "normal" looks like for your stack. We do. Every VM builds a rolling behavioral baseline over time, and alerts fire only when something truly deviates. A server that always sits at 75% and jumps to 78%? Flagged immediately. A server that spikes to 95% every night on a scheduled job? Not a word. The result: no 3am wakeups from predictable patterns, and no missed incidents when something actually breaks. Health checks score status, severity, and response time continuously — every active alert surfaces in one real-time dashboard.
Rolling-baseline comparisonnot a static threshold
Live Placement
New VMs land on the host with room to run — decided automatically.
Every physical host in a compute pool reports live CPU, RAM, and running-VM counts. When you launch a server, the platform reads that live telemetry and places it on the host that can actually serve it — not the next one in a round-robin queue. Pools carry a real CPU/RAM ceiling with a tunable over-booking ratio, hosts in maintenance are automatically skipped, and edge nodes can be flagged for latency-sensitive placement.
Live host telemetrydrives every placement decision
Telemetry
See everything. Act before users notice.
Metrics captured every 5 seconds across every VM, host, and NIC — surfaced in one dashboard and exportable to your own stack.

Time to alert
- CPU, RAM, disk, and network captured every 5 seconds per VM — not minute-level averages that hide spikes.
- Rolling-baseline anomaly detection — alerts fire on deviation from your workload's own pattern, not a static 80% threshold.
- 80% of incidents auto-resolved by runbooks before an engineer is paged.

Platform Capabilities
Every layer of your stack. Built in, not bolted on.
No third-party agents, no manual integrations. Every feature below is part of the same platform — managed from one dashboard, priced in one bill.
Virtual Machines
Launch, snapshot, scale — without touching hardware.
AMD EPYC processors and NVMe storage provisioned in under 60 seconds. Take instant snapshots before risky changes, pause without losing RAM state, and convert any running server into a reusable template.
- Start, stop, pause, resume — in-memory state preserved across pause/resume
- Resize CPU and RAM on the same host — no live migration needed
- Convert any VM into a reusable template for identical copies later
Networking
Five network types. One software-defined fabric.
Public, private, VPN, management, and DMZ — each with its own CIDR, DNS servers, and a dedicated gateway/firewall. Bandwidth limits at both the network and NIC level stop one noisy VM from saturating the rest.
- Reserve specific IPs that never auto-assign to another resource
- DHCP hands out addresses as VMs boot — no static config needed
- Per-NIC bandwidth limits enforce fair use without manual intervention
Storage
Grow a disk. No downtime. No ticket.
Attach, detach, resize, and clone virtual disks independently of the VM. The platform continuously scans every pool for capacity and health — HDD, SSD, and NVMe tiers included.
- Resize virtual disks without rebuilding or stopping the VM
- Clone any disk to create an independent duplicate in seconds
- Automatic capacity and health scanning before pools fill up
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Documented RPO and RTO — not just a checkbox.
Each backup job carries an explicit Recovery Point Objective and Recovery Time Objective the platform tracks and reports against. Automatic retention cleanup, secondary-location replication, and one-click restore from any snapshot.
- Schedule by day of week, day of month, or a fixed time of day
- Email or webhook notification on every job completion or failure
- Backups outside the retention window are cleaned up automatically
Boot Configuration
Self-healing servers. Every reboot, not just the first.
Hostname, password, and disk expansion happen automatically on boot — and on every subsequent boot. Attach a startup script and it runs after platform setup completes, so your server arrives configured and stays that way.
- Disk resize is usable inside the VM after reboot — no manual growpart
- Configuration re-applied on every boot — drift is corrected automatically
- Shell or PowerShell scripts run after hostname, disk, env vars, and roles are applied
Service Roles
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Tailscale — pre-installed at boot.
Pick the services you need when creating a VM. They are installed automatically by the same trusted boot-time engine that sets the hostname and SSH keys — no manual login, no extra agent required.
- Set a root password or auth key per VM — sensible defaults otherwise
- Roles are per-VM — enabling MySQL on one server never touches another
- Retired catalog roles drop cleanly; new ones appear without any code change

What is Co-Location?
In today's digitally driven world, businesses of all sizes face a common challenge: how do you maintain fast, secure, and reliable IT infrastructure without the enormous cost and complexity of building and running your own data center? The answer, for a growing number of organizations, is co-location one of the most strategic infrastructure decisions a modern business can make. So, what is co-location? Co-location is a service where businesses house their own servers and IT equipment in a third-party data center, sharing its power, cooling, and network infrastructure. This article covers everything you need to know about co-location: what it is, how it works, what it includes, who uses it, how it compares to other hosting models, and what to look for when choosing a provider.

What is a Post Boot Script?
The first step after creating a cloud server is usually to establish an SSH connection. Package updates, web server installation, database settings, security configuration... But what if all of these could be done automatically at the very first boot, without ever connecting to the server? Moreover, what if you didn't need an additional license, extra service, or third-party automation tool for this? Post Boot Script provides exactly that.

Do 5-Year-Old Servers Still Work? Server Repair
In recent years, there has been a significant transformation in the server world. Especially in terms of processor (CPU) capacities, we are witnessing a real leap forward. While 16 and 32 core processors were once considered "high performance," today CPUs with 64 cores and above are becoming standard. So, what happens to old hardware in this rapidly changing ecosystem? **Are 5-year-old servers still useful?** Our guide on increasing CPU capacities and the rising second-hand server market provides answers to this critical question.
