VMware Powered
Included
A dedicated Managed Cloud Server (MCS) is a single-tenant High Availability (HA) VMware virtual machine (VM). If a physical VMware ESXi host fails, an impacted VM will migrate automatically to a standby ESXi host.
Physical VMware ESXi Host A
VMware vSAN Storage Node
Dedicated MCS
High Availability VMware vMotion
Physical VMware ESXi Host B
VMware vSAN Storage Node
Scalable Hardware
Configurable
Flexible hardware configurations with dedicated systems resources allow scalability to handle even the highest traffic levels.
Single Dedicated MCS
Compute: 2 to 32 Dedicated vCPUs
Memory: 4GB to 156GB DDR4 RAM
Storage: 100GB to 10TB VMware vSAN SSD Storage with NVMe Caching
Clustered Configuration
Easily deploy a cluster of two or more Dedicated Managed Cloud Servers using local or global load balancing across Rochen’s data centers to handle higher traffic demands, build greater redundancy into your solution or segregate workloads for compliance purposes.
Scaling Controls:
- Instant Scaling
- Scheduled Scaling
- Auto Scaling
Hourly Usage Tracking
System resource usage is tracked hourly, allowing you to easily scale up and down at any time and only pay for your configured resources.

Supported Applications
A Dedicated MCS provides a highly flexible platform that is suitable for running a variety of different workloads. Here are a few applications and frameworks that will perform and scale extremely well.
WordPress
Joomla
Drupal
Magento
WooCommerce
PHP Zend Framework
Data Centers
We own and manage our infrastructure at data centers in Dallas, Texas, United States and London, United Kingdom. We can access many other Points of Presence (PoPs) worldwide through our Content Delivery Network (CDN) partners.
Our data centers are built to the highest standards regarding network, power and cooling redundancy and meet the most stringent physical security standards.
Compliance
Working in consultation with the team at Rochen, Dedicated VMs can be provisioned to help you meet your compliance obligations.
Carbon Offsetting
We understand that operating highly redundant data centers can impact the environment. This is why we have partnered with Green Mountain Energy, the leading provider of cleaner energy and carbon-offsetting solutions, to purchase carbon credits to offset the emissions of our hosting operations.
Clustered Deployment Example
Dedicated MCSs provide a flexible platform. Below is just one example showing a fully redundant deployment for a Magento store. The example allows instant vertical scaling of each Dedicated MCS and the ability for further horizontal scaling by adding additional Dedicated MCSs. This type of setup can be easily adapted to support global load balancing across multiple data centers or other applications.
