Available 24×7, the web portal simplifies the management process by allowing users to activate, deactivate and reboot their hosted virtual servers in a matter of seconds from their desktop. It also enables the seamless drag-and-drop migration of server resource across virtual machines.Snap Shot’ report function gives IT Managers an instant view or model of capacity usage and performance, which can then be separately re-configured and tested before deployment

Craig Pennington, vice president of operations, said: It is our responsibility to develop products and solutions that make the lives of our customers easier. The new customer portal provides businesses with unprecedented control over their entire hosted IT environment. It has traditionally been time intensive and complicated to re-deploy server capacity and truly exploit the flexibility of virtualized computing power.
