Maximal has a multi-datacenter footprint that allows us to provide an extremely powerful and robust platform to host client machines. Given that storage pools are replicated across multiple storage servers in multiple geographically independent datacenters, we can maximize up time in the event of a myriad of failures. Maximal offers competitive pricing along with state of the art engineering to deliver an ideal virtual machine platform.
Due to that our multi-datacenter footprint has a 10Gbps link across redundant fiber, it is possible to live-migrate any virtual machine from one host to another, even in a geographically independent datacenter. This allows for easy troubleshooting of any issue as well as the ability to migrate VMS ahead of maintenance cycles — minimizing potential downtime.
Data is replicated across multiple storage servers in multiple datacenters to ensure maximum availability of VHDs (virtual hard drives).
In the event that Datacenter A suffers a connectivity failure, power outage, or server equipment issue, virtual machines can be started at the geographically independent datacenter. Replicated storage servers ensure that a recent virtual hard drive is readily available at either site.
