In brief: what is a Cloud Server at Xelon?

A Xelon Cloud Server is a flexibly configurable Virtual Machine (VM) in a Swiss data center - with CPU, RAM and storage of your choice, pay-as-you-go billing and full control over your data and systems. You get the performance of a dedicated server without having to buy, run and maintain your own hardware.

What are Virtual Machines (VMs)?

A Virtual Machine (VM) is a complete virtual operating system with its own CPU, memory and network interface. A hypervisor separates compute resources from the physical hardware, so you can use your VM anytime and from anywhere - for servers, desktops, databases or entire networks.

How do virtual machines work at Xelon?

We build virtual environments to fit and assign your Cloud servers exactly the resources you need. The hypervisor manages the physical hardware in the background. You simply work with your server as if it stood in your own data center, without the effort of running on-prem infrastructure.

We calculate the costs for your VMs

Why virtual machines are becoming more and more popular

A key reason why more and more IT companies are adopting VMs is server consolidation and the resulting cost savings. In bare-metal environments, most operating systems and application deployments use only a small fraction of the available physical resources on a regular basis. By virtualizing your servers with VMs, you can place multiple virtual servers on a single physical server - optimizing hardware utilization.

Who is a Cloud Server a good fit for?

IT service providers run scalable, white-label-capable customer infrastructure from Switzerland.
Software and DevOps teams can set up test, staging, and production environments within minutes.
SMEs and internal IT teams replace aging hardware with flexible Swiss Cloud servers more easily than ever - without operating their own data center.
