Web hosting provider Fasthosts Internet has expanded its Dedicated Server range with its 32 core DS1200 server that features Solid State Drives (SSD) and 2 x 2TB of storage.

The new server can be run via a choice of operating systems including the new CentOS 6 operating system and it features the Plesk 10 control panel and a storage space RAM with RAID1 protection.

Fasthosts’ Dedicated Servers are designed for IT professionals and businesses that require enhanced server operations for applications and data storage without the capital expenditure or the physical space required for running hardware 24/7 on their premises.

DS1200 uses 2 x 2.4GHz AMD OpteronTM 16-core processors to deliver energy-efficient performance, meaning intensive programmes can be run simultaneously without the need to slow down.

The new server also sports 64GB RAM, 2 x 120GB RAID 1 SSD hard-disk drives and 2 x 2TB RAID 1 SATA hard-disk drives. It also includes free SSL certificates for the first year and Plesk 10 can be added for a small monthly fee.

Currently, all Fasthosts Windows Dedicated Servers are provided with 50GB of free Online Backup and receives unlimited bandwidth with 100Mbps high-speed virtual data pipe.

Fasthosts Internet Marketing director Claire Lewis said, "Our new 32 core server is an excellent opportunity to access huge processor power on an affordable basis."
