Server Choice
Gritstone can offer your business a choice of server, from physical on-site server hardware to a choice of Virtual Private Servers (VPS).
Typical features of a physical on-site server would include uninterruptible & redundant power supplies, redundant fans & hard drives. This may be a simple file server with an internal mail server such as MDaemon or a Microsoft Windows SBS Server with Active Directory, MS Exchange and other features.
VPS servers would typically be used for serving web based applications such as website hosting or company intranet hosting. We can offer a choice of Windows and Linux VPS servers with pre-set configurations or with operating systems and resources tailored to your exact specifications.
