How it works for us


We believe that IaaS should be accessible even for those who have not experienced IT. To do this, we optimize service services and implement special tools , which we are talking about here.

If we talk about VMware DRS, then we use it to work with our entire IT infrastructure. In addition, we use the technology of VMware High Availability , which allows you to restart virtual servers automatically. This combination allows you to achieve a high level of fault tolerance.
