Host Color LLC (HC) announced the expansion of its edge infrastructure portfolio with high-bandwidth Intel and AMD server configurations.

These configurations feature high-performance servers, powered by Xeon Gold 6438Y+ processors, with 512GB of RAM, 21TB of fast data storage, 15 SSD and 6 NMVe drives, and separate M.2 OS storage.

Free Infrastructure Technical Support
The company does not charge for access to technical support on the core functionality of the dedicated cloud hosting infrastructure it provides to its customers. It provides dedicated cloud servers with ‘Free Infrastructure Technical Support’ /SLA.Free Infrastructure Technical Support (FITS) covers core service functionality related to network interfaces and the physical components of bare metal servers such as CPU, RAM, and storage drives.

It also includes consultation on various infrastructure service use case scenarios. However, it does not include maintenance and support for the OS, custom configurations, and installed software applications. These are covered by the next level of SLA-defined technical support called ‘Semi-Managed Dedicated Servers’. This native technical support agreement is based on the company’s Edge Server hosting infrastructure platform.

Semi-Managed Dedicated Servers
In addition to its Free Infrastructure Technical Support (FITS), all HostColors dedicated server hosting services are ‘Semi-Managed’ by SLA. The provider is responsible for installing and configuring server instances to the customer’s custom configurations for Linux infrastructure environments. In addition, HC Support reinstalls the server OS upon request, configures and manages network settings, creates and maintains custom virtual private networks, and assists customers in troubleshooting any server-side issues related to OS, network, or software configuration.
