Servers powering Managed Hosting are connected to The PeerEdge® Fabric using Juniper QFX-series switches. EVPN-VXLAN handles encrypted networking between the hosting environment and The Fabric. Technology adapted from PeerEdge® Data Orchestrators have been incorporated into the bare metal hypervisors that are responsible for managing workloads on the servers.

Network connectivity bypasses server kernels and is delivered to the containerised Orchestrators running inside Managed Hosting. This is the most secure architecture available anywhere today, as encryption happens at the application and is immune to kernel exploits.

Managed Hosting is powered by quad-socket HPE hardened servers. Each server has redundant power supplies, processors and protected memory configurations, NVMe RAID and HA Networking. The bare metal hypervisors responsible for managing server workloads pin Orchestrators to individual sockets, preventing noisy neighbor issues, maximizing performance, and lowering processing latency. Quad-socket architectures are similar to having 4 independent servers inside the same physical chassis and are highly energy efficient.

Managed Hosting servers and Fabric integrations are housed inside the Equinix datacenter footprint. This ensures standards and compliance for PeerEdge® solutions globally. All racks are fed from diverse A/B plants, so power maintenance can be completed by datacenter operators without impacting production workloads.
