| Hardware |
| Power, power, power. It is decisive for the performance of our systems and we make no compromises. The focus is - as already mentioned - the perfect Price-performance ratio . |
| VPS Node - Ultra Edition |
Our goal was ist to set up a really high performant system for the VPS-Ultra Edition and think that we've dont this well. As always we are focusing on brand hardware.
The following hardware specifications describe one VPS node of the Ultra Edition: |
| Dual Xeon Hexacore |
The next generation of the Intel Xeon-series is really incredible. One CPU has 8 real and 8 virtual cores with each 2.60 GHz - a lot of power for your VPS and the best: we have two CPUs in the node! |
|
| 32-64 GB RAM |
RAM is essential for the smooth and stable operation of each VPS. All our customers are supplied with 4x dynamic RAM, so that even the peak loads are no problem! |
|
| RAID 10 SSD |
With so much CPU power and RAM the harddrives have to be fast enough and therefore, we use between 16 and 24 Intel SSD 520-series in RAID 10 mode. Beside the data security we ensure an optimal write and read speed. |
|
| VPS Node |
The individual components are chosen carefully, because the CPU, RAM and disk performance have to keep an optimum balance. Again, we rely on branded hardware: Dell or Supermicro - which set standards in the server sector.
The following hardware specifications describe one VPS node: |
| Dual Xeon Quadcore |
Intel Xeon is a very high quality server processor. The real power of 8 CPU cores can withstand a lot and has enough speed for various applications. Our customers are provided with plenty of power. |
|
| 32-64 GB RAM |
RAM is essential for the smooth and stable operation of each VPS. All our customers are supplied with 4x dynamic RAM, so that even the peak loads are no problem! |
|
| RAID 10 SAS |
With so much CPU power and RAM the disks have to be fast enough and therefore, we use SAS disks in RAID 10 array. Beside the data security we ensure an optimal write and read speed. |
|
| Software |
 The software running our servers is chosen carefully to provide the optimal performance of the hardware. All of the chosen operating systems are available as 64 or 32 Bit images. We also take care of always providing the latest stable versions.
|
| F-Com Terminal |
We were dissatisfied with the customary management systems and have therefore taken the trouble to code a separate administrative system for our customers: The F-Com Terminal.
This has many advantages - especially for our customers: |
| Scalability |
Probably the most decisive advantage is the unbounded scalability, because as developers we have everything under control. We can decide what features to include. Here we look at the needs of our customers. |
|
| Reboot |
In the F-Com Terminal, each customer can restart his server comfortable and the best part is, completely free! |
|
| Reinstall |
Also the easy reinstall of the server, we offer for free in the F-Com Terminal. So our customers can always use the newest operating system. |
|
| Rescue system |
Just in case an error should occur on your system, you can simply use the rescue system via the F-Com Terminal and fix it. This means no important data is lost - which would by necessary for an installation. |
|
| Reverse DNS |
The Domain Name System (DNS) assigns a domain IP address. But what happens if you want to assign an IP adress to the domain name? You can use our free reverse DNS feature in the F-Com Terminal (dedicated servers) or our support will set the needed record (VPS). |
|
| Traffic overview |
You want at any time the total consumption per month in real time at a glance? In the F-Com Terminal we prepare the traffic overview graphically so that the overview is guaranteed. |
|
| Invoice overview |
We archive all the invoices and make them available for download. So our customers have insight and overview. |
|
| Infrastructure |
| Our technical infrstructure consists of components from Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks which ensure the professional operation. The systems are connected with 3 Gbit/s and the current infrastructure is able to be connected with 6.4 Gbit/s without a hardware upgrade. So we are optimally equipped for the challenges of the future. |
| Router |
The routing is the core function of an ISP (Internet Service Provider) which is why there should be no compromise. We have confidence in this very important task to the manufacturer Juniper Networks with his high-end products in the segment of carrier-class router.
The M10 is the heart of our routing - a lot of power for our customers: |
| 6.4 Gbit/s |
The maximum data throughput of the M10 from Juniper Networks is indescribable 6.4 Gbit/s in full duplex mode. This very high data throughput secures our challanges in the future. |
|
| IPv6 |
The current Internet Protocol v4 (IPv4) is reaching its limits, so a shift to IPv6 is invitable in the short to medium term. Therefore we are on the safe side with our router, because he already supports both protocols. |
|
| Security |
Reliability, DoS attack protection and secure service delivery can be ensured by a number of functions, such as the J-Protect filtering capabilities, the restriction of high data throughput rates, the Junos software and the industry-leading ASIC technology. |
|
| Reliability |
A redundant architecture, redundant power and cooling, the fail-safe Junos software and rigorous system testing ensures, that all M-series platforms are highly reliable. |

| Switches |
In addition to the routing switches are another key element, because they are responsible for the allocation of data packets in its own network. in this very important tast we rely on Cisco.
We are using the Cisco® Catalyst® 4900M with the following characteristics: |
| 320 Gbit/s |
The Cisco Catalyst 4900 certainly convinced by its maximum data throughput of 320 Gbit/s, so no data packet has to wait long. |
|
| IPv6 |
The impending poverty of IPv4 will cause a timely switch to IPv6. Just as our router, the Cisco Catalyst 4900M supports both protocols. |
|
| Reliability |
The hardware oth the switches is also redundante, so they have hot swappable (remoable during operation) power supplies and coolers. Also the have a high degree of reliability. |
|
| Carrier |
| Our connectivity is provided by three independent carriers and allows us to guarantee an availability of 99% per year. We have chosen us for two international and a regional carrier - Tinet, Cogent and Clanotopia. With this mix we ensure the high availability and speed at the international and regional level. |
|
| Data Center |
 The decision for a data cemter musst be taken with extreme care and it must comply with the highest technological standards, so that the quality is assured. It is also important, that the data center is an interesting location for the future.
We are housed in the data center of KPN EuroRings B.V. in Düsseldorf (Germany), which fulfills the high standards and provides an high performance connection. The data center is equipped with a redundant power supply via UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and emergency power generators, climate control and a gas extinguishing system.
KPN is the leading telecommunications and ICT service provider in the Netherlands and offers their end users-products (telephone, internet and television) well as B2B beneftis. This makes them not only complement their portfolio, it expand their own network through the demands of their customers. With locations around the world KPN is a very reliable partner - that's why we have made a good decision. |
