Physical Servers

isginf hosts and manages physical servers. We recommend virtual servers but physical servers are cheaper if you need one or more of the following:

• Large storage
• High I/O
• High CPU load or performance
• Special hardware (e.g., GPUs)

Server Hardware

isginf will fully manage server hardware that was purchased through isginf but only if certain requirements are met:

• The hardware is server grade. Workstations do explicitly not qualify for a server installation.
• The hardware is still under warranty.
• The system has at least two hard disks with hardware RAID1.
• The server is certified to run the operating system of choice.

Compatibility issues may degrade the level of support that isginf provides for all server hardware other than the standard platform.

Location

Our hosting service will take care of placing the server in one of the server rooms.

Warranty

Before the warranty of the server hardware ends we will contact you to discuss an upgrade path.
