We can arrange co-location of your Sphere in data centres around the world. We operate Sphere systems out of a data centre in downtown Chicago for example. |
Sphere: systemsWith the introduction in January 2011 of SuperSphere, Sphere Servers currently offer a choice of four systems... OfficeSphere system is intended for groups of people who need to work together, flexibly, powerfully and from different locations if needs be. It gives all its users (not just the administrator) easy yet powerful web-based access and control of the things people need on a regular basis. No more calls to "admin" and delays while things are "fixed". No extra annual or per user licencing costs. Fully supported. SuperSphere is an enhanced OfficeSphere with massive RAID storage capability (up to almost 100Tb raw storage capacity), up to 12 core CPU power, independent RAID mirrored system disks and optional 10G copper ethernet (requires compatible switch(es) and network). StrataSphere is our "hosting" system. A true virual hosting solution with support for "accounts" (controlling multiple domains), as well as individual domain managers and their users, all done with the typical Sphere ease-of-use and lack-of-admin approach. A thoroughly modern virtual hosting solution which can trace its routes back to the pioneering work done by Cobalt with their RaQ servers, but bang up-to-date and ready for C21st overheads and hosting requirements. Currently only available for rental - please see the Purchase page for further details. TeleSphere is our "internet telephony" VoIP system. Built with Asterisk open source and Digium etc. hardware components we recommend the 300 series handsets from Snom for their excellent price/performance balance. TeleSphere brings our "ease of use" philosophy to the installation and operation of small business telephone systems and will hook up to anything from a single analog phone line to ISDN30 systems, and beyond... And of course, being another Sphere product, integration with our OfficeSphere is tight. Convergence between IT systems and telephony is the future, and with a TeleSphere system the foundations are in place to build powerful, and highly cost-effective solutions. |
The Sphere philosophy, server solutions for the rest of us, is what makes a Sphere product different. We design our systems not only for those installing and maintaining them, but also to allow their users to safely and quickly control their own settings etc. without having to call in, and wait for, "administrators".
With its open-source foundations that do not have hidden licencing costs, Sphere's total cost of ownership is very competitive, especially for organisations with a fast turn-around on staff (freeelance production teams etc.). |
