AppServe provides KVM over IP for customers to troubleshoot
Dallas, Tx - October 17, 2008

We have listened to our customers and have extended our KVM over IP as an option for both dedicated and colocated server accounts who need to use it on a temporary basis to troubleshoot or upgrade systems. We will attach this device for you and you can have up to 24 hours for free to work on your systems.

KVM over IP devices use a dedicated micro controller and potentially specialized video capture hardware to capture the video signals keyboard and mouse signals, compress and convert them into packets, and send them over an Ethernet link to a remote console application that unpacks and reconstitutes the dynamic graphical image. This KVM over IP subsystem is connected to a system's standby power plane so that it's available during the entire BIOS boot process. These devices allow multiple computers to be controlled remotely over the Internet using the TCP/IP protocols.

In comparison to conventional methods of remote administration (for example Virtual Network Computing or Terminal Services), a KVM switch has the advantage that it doesn't depend on a software component running on the remote computer, thus allowing remote interaction with base level BIOS settings and monitoring of the entire booting process before during and after the operating system loads. Modern KVM over IP appliances or switches typically use at least 128-bit data encryption securing the KVM configuration over a WAN or LAN (leveraging SSL, and thus MD5 or AES)

AppServe Technologies expands Data Center offering to included High Availabilty at the DNS level
Dallas, Tx - April 15, 2008

We have listened to our customers and have added High Availability at the DNS level to our product offerings, read more below:

Features


Autofailover
.
The mainstay of HA offering and the foundation for the high availability option is the unique capability of maintaining extraordinarily low cache times. This allows for near real time traffic redirection.
.
When AutoFailover detects a failure it automatically updates the DNS record for your domain so that the server requests are sent to the IP address of your alternate server or server cluster.
Load Balancing
..
One instance of our HA offering can monitor as many as twelve (12) Servers / IP's and balance the load among them. Our patented “Intelligent Round Robin” offers a flexible means to manage the behavior of cooperating servers. A web site visitor, for example, engaged in a session at one server will not be sent to a different server unless the visitor clicks on a fully qualified link within that web site requiring a new DNS resolution.

Geographic Load Balancing

Geographic load balancing deployed entirely as a service has revolutionized the global load balancing industry. With no hardware to deploy and no software to configure, our GEO LB offers a complete paradigm shift for true global traffic management.

Server Monitoring

Our service monitors your server, dynamically. Every few seconds, our agents monitor your server within the protocol you select. Not only can it check the availability of your server and your server software functionality, but also it can check the validity of the content being served. All this at a fraction of typical monitoring software prices. Including Multi-Point Monitoring.
