VPS Platform Switch complete successfully…

June 17th, 2009

After many hours of working around the clock to finish migrating over a few clients who decided to wait till the last minute to purchase a new VPS with us on our new platform as we finished phasing our our old platform which utilized HyperVM, I am happy to say we have completed the move. We will be heavily marketing our new Virtuozzo VPS systems to offset the MUCH higher license fees for the software. In comparison, HyperVM was only .50cents per license. Virtuozzo, starting off, on the other hand, was 20$ per license. We’ve gotten the price down a bit since we’re able to purchase in bulk, however because of the way Virtuozzo licensing works, we’re only limited to how ever many VPS systems we’re able to pull on one server. For each node, we have to start over back at 20$/per month licensing prices until we get enough on the node to get it lower. Anyone instereted in opening an affiliate account with us, please email sales@aquariusstorage.com.

Besides that, we’re still learning a lot about Virtuozzo, but our new platform is very stable, and a great improvement over our HyperVM platform and machines we had with Singlehop. Oh, did I mention we moved all VPS customers from Singlehop to SoftLayer which is located in Dallas Texas. And our VPS nodes now consist of Dual Quard core Intel 5540’s with 32GB of RAM and RAID 10? A nice step up indeed. Hope everyone enjoys the new platform, network, and equipment which result in a better, more stable VPS for all of our customers. Stay tuned for more from us, we’re not done yet :)
