Hosting Distributed computing and virtualization
Hosting on iron we know
Windows and Linux hosting, virtual machines on Proxmox and Hyper-V, and private lab environments, delivered from enterprise Dell PowerEdge systems in Orlando that we build, test and run ourselves.
01 Architecture
Hub and laboratory
Production services run on enterprise servers in Orlando. An engineering laboratory validates every change first. The architecture is designed to extend to additional sites when demand and verified capacity allow.
Today there is one operating site, Orlando, Florida. Additional locations are planned but undecided, and no commitments are made about them on this website.

What we host and run
- 01
Windows Server and Linux hosting
Applications and services on Windows Server with IIS, or on Debian, sized to the workload and documented.

Virtual machines on Proxmox and Hyper-V
Side-by-side experience with both hypervisors means the choice is made on your requirements: licensing, recovery, tooling and guest operating systems.
- 03
Hybrid on-premises and remote workloads
Systems that span your site and ours, with clear boundaries for data and responsibility.
- 04
Distributed workloads
Jobs spread across lab nodes and clusters, tested on low-power hardware before larger commitments.
- 05
Network monitoring and management
Monitoring and alerting built on the same approach as our internal Aurora dashboard.
03 Available on request
Private lab VPS
Isolated virtual machines for testing software, networks and configurations before they touch production, hosted on our enterprise hardware with Proxmox and Hyper-V.
Specifications, pricing and terms are set per inquiry. No uptime guarantee or service-level agreement is offered without a written agreement.
