Cloud (Cloud Computing or Cloud Hosting) services are produced and delivered through a networking model of computing systems. Cloud has emerged from compute clusters. In today’s IT industry “Cloud” is a very much a buzzword, often used without a reference to any technology. Consumers, providers and marketeers just call storage, web hosting and data centers “Cloud”. However, Cloud Computing service is one delivered from a virtualized computing cluster in which the data processing is physically separated from data storage.
The minimum service provided by Cloud Service providers is a single virtualized computer instance (Cloud VM or Cloud server), which resides on a cluster of physical hosts, while the storage used as part of the service is located on a separate Storage Area Network or any kind of external storage system.

HCE provisions VMware powered High Availability Cloud Servers (also called Public Clouds) for hosting websites and applications which require increased service availability. The High Availability (HA) is an uniform, cost-effective failover protection against service downtime caused by a hardware or an Operating System (OS) failure. The HA service monitors your Cloud Servers hosted on HCE, VMware powered infrastructure, to detect a failure on the underlying physical hosts or any Operating System (OS) failures inside your Cloud VM. If an outage is detected, the HA restarts your Cloud Server and operations resume automatically. All services that run on the cloud server return online. There is not need to reboot the server manually. HCE also offers Private Cloud instances, Hybrid Cloud infrastructure and custom build Dedicated Cloud IaaS in various data centers across Europe.
