We pride ourselves on providing a platform that ensures consistent high-performance, come rain, shine, or digg.

Xen virtualisation

At 6sync we use Xen as the implementation technology of choice to enable our virtualised solutions. Xen provides provides full virtualisation that results in fully-isolated environments in which applications and services thrive. Each virtual server is just like an idependent computer linked together and each runs a full software-stack right down to individual kernels.

Alternative technologies provide only operating-system virtualisation which reduces overhead but at the cost of increased risk to stability from abuse and malfunction.

Latest and greatest hardware

All our servers consist of enterprise-grade components from leading computing manufacturers. We only use and trust the best equipment to guarantee performance, reliability and longevity for our customers. We never skimp on quality.

Next-gen Intel Nehalem processors

6sync is committed to cutting-edge technology and performance. Thats why all our servers are packed with next-generation Intel Nehalem technology. This new enterprise architecture from Intel delivers significantly better performance than anything else on the market.

One of the latest innovations is the integrated triple-channel DDR3 memory controller. This means the memory in our servers is faster and easier to access then ever before.

RAID-10 drive configuration

One of the vital elements in high-performance virtual servers is the storage subsystem, from which your important data and applications are stored and served. For this reason we use a specialised multiple harddrive RAID-10 configuration to ensure the highest performance and reliability.

Gigabit internet connection is standard

Your network connection is your vehicle to doing business around the world. Don't get slowed down by shared 100 or even 10 Mbit networks connections that limit your ability to deliver information and content to your customers fast. Gigabit 1000 Mbit connections are standard at 6sync, delivering speeds up to 100x faster than a typical 10 Mbit connection!

  • Full isolation and independence
  • Incredible hypervisor performance
  • Complete operating system control, modify the kernel.. if you dare!
  • 64-bit capable
