What is a Yeahhost Smart Cloud Server?

Our Smart Cloud Servers is a computing platform setup over the Internet. It consists of a cluster of high-performance servers, all servers connected together to provide a super computing environment to host our cloud virtual machines where its physical storage is stored in a Storage Area Network (SAN) access via fast fiber or iSCSI connection.

When resources are scarce or extra resources are needed, we are able to easily add servers into the cluster to increase its capacity without deteriorating its overall performance and reduce downtime. Cloud computing also provides flexibility to move instances of the cloud among its clusters of servers to provide load balancing capability.

With this setup, cloud computing provides the capability to scale up, provide resource load balancing functionality and fault tolerance. Cloud virtual machines get reliable performance, truly dedicated memory, high-performance RAID storage, high redundancy capabilities and value for money.

What situation requires a cloud server?

Cloud computing provides Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) where you are not required to worry about the maintenance of the physical machine. Users will have root access to their servers to be accessed via Remote Desktop of SSH. With root access, users are able to install, setup and configure the machines tailored to their own specific needs. Most importantly, cloud machines offer high-performance computing to cater to your business’s demands at a flexible cost.

Compared to shared hosting environment, shared hosting servers are setup as a pre-determined package and resources are shared among all the accounts in the shared server.

What redundency features does a cloud server have?

All servers in the cluster consist of redundant power source, redundant network connection and redundant storage drives in case of failure. Any one of the physical server machines in the cluster can be removed or replaced without downtime caused to the entire cloud computing network. Storage Area Network (SAN) provides high disk redundancy capabilities in case of failure to the storage device. All of this ensures near-zero downtime during failure or when maintenance work is being performed.

Location of Data Centre

Our servers are located in ISO certified data centres at the hub of our nation Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur, Cyberjaya ("Silicon Valley of Malaysia") and Penang. This provides optimum network and redundancy support to all our assets. Our Malaysia data centres are managed by TM VADS IDC. For overseas requests, we have servers located at the data centres in Montreal Canada, Europe, Singapore and the USA.
