vps hosting more detail

If you want hosting that is somewhere in-between shared hosting and dedicated hosting you might find Virtual Private Server hosting a good alternative. People in the hosting industry often refer to VPS hosting as that thing filling the gap between the two mentioned forms of web hosting.
What Virtual Private Servers do is to display a type of virtualization where one single server gets divided into several virtual servers. Each one of these virtual servers has the capacity of running on its own machine.
One of the things that make VPS hosting so popular is the fact that it allows grass-root access for its clients without bringing along the hassle that could come with dedicated servers. A typical client for VPS hosting is an individual or business that need their hosting to be stronger and more customizable than shared hosting.
Their ability to establish sandboxes, one single physical server with two virtual private servers, is another reason to why Virtual Private Servers are so highly popular. We can mention one example: say that you have a popular website on one server and then you have a second which is a copy of the first on the other. Now you will be able to test important updates on your copy so that you do not mess around to much on the original. source wenhostgear.com

Managing your Cool ing Supply
Proper installation of hardware is essential to efficient cooling
Equipment Orientation: Hosting.com data centers are configured to comply with hot isle /cold
isle cooling design, please ensure that all of your equipment is installed with the exhaust side towards
the hot isle or rear of the cabinet. This includes less obvious devices such as switches, routers, hubs
or any other appliance that incorporates cooling fans into its design.
Blanking Panels: It is very likely there will be open space between hardware elements in your
cabinet following a new installation or day to day equipment maintenance. These gaps however act
as a pathway for warm air exhausted from equipment at the rear of the cabinet to cycle back to the
front and enter the equipment intake, causing artificially high equipment operating temperatures.
Blanking panels are typically simple plastic panels sized in increments of the standard server Unit
convention and placed in these gaps to block this “short-cycling “of warm air.
When planning your cabinet layout, ensure that that equipment is installed in contiguous order – i.e.;
one on top of another or plan your spacing to comply with server height Unit increments, in multiples
of one or two U so that blanking panels may be easily installed without the future need to adjust
equipment spacing. source hosting.com

Knowing True Capacity: The standard full size colocation cabinet is 42U high, which means it
should fit approximately 40 x 1U servers, however in reality the circuit capacity delivered to the
cabinet and its cooling architecture will define the cabinets maximum occupancy level – as such,
given the compact design and high power demands of enterprise class equipment it is common to run
out of available power or exceed the cooling capabilities before the physical space of a cabinet is fully
utilized.
If you plan on adding a significant amount of hardware into an established production environment
and are unsure of your available power and cooling, please check with the data center operations
staff. They are equipped to take a reading in real time and advice on resource availability.

Balancing PDU’s: The typical colocation cabinet is often equipped with dual power feeds and
dual PDU’s referred to as A and B circuits. Having two PDU’s allows for support of dual corded
equipment within the cabinet – this type of equipment uses two power supplies for redundancy, in the
event one power supply or the circuit supplying it fails, the other will automatically assume the full
demand of the equipment. Under normal operation both supplies evenly share in their power
demands – this makes managing power loading at the PDU level critical in order to maintain
operating redundancy. In practice, to maintain PDU redundancy you should not exceed 40% of the
circuit’s rated ampacity supplying either A or B PDU. Exceeding this value will result in an “A” circuit
tripping its breaker if a “B” circuit fails because all load will be transferred to the redundant power
supplies being fed by the “A” circuit. This doubles the demand on the remaining PDU and trips its
breaker.
