HA Hosting - VMware Dedicated Servers
Our VMware hosted Dedicated Servers run on VMware ESX clusters, providing excellent redundancy, hardware
ubiquity, and dependability.
We offer servers running Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2, CentOS Linux 5, and Fedora Linux 12.
Dedicated servers can be complimented by extra services such as managed backups, managed firewalls,
reverse DNS, and easy upgrades - some of which can be done live without downtime.

"The Virtual Cloud" is H.A.'s own Software as a Service platform, with all application
servers running on the same VMware cluster with SAN storage and resilient hardware and network as
our VMware hosted Dedicated Servers.

The Sheffield Data Centre
Back in 2008 we identified a lack of Data Centre space in the Sheffield and South Yorkshire areas, and
set out a plan to meet the needs of businesses in the area. In June 2008 the Sheffield Data Centre was
opened to much success!
We offer single server slots, half racks, and full racks. Power and bandwidth are included in some
colocation packages, and colocation can be complimented with extra services such as SAN disk space,
managed backups, managed firewalls, reverse DNS and extra power and bandwidth.
