Windows virtual server
fully managed

Who is a Windows virtual server for?

A Windows virtual server is an independent Windows Server whose virtual processors (vCPU), memory and storage are reserved for you, hosted and managed by HaiSoft. It is particularly suited to:

• business software that only runs on Windows (sales management, accounting, ERP, CRM…);
• .NET applications and databases that need to be accessible from several sites or by remote workers;
• remote working with Remote Desktop (RDS): your staff log on to the server and use their software there;
• secure remote file sharing between colleagues;
• businesses that want to replace an on-premises server with a server hosted in a datacentre, monitored and maintained by engineers.

Remote-access VPN and site-to-site VPN

A VPN (virtual private network) creates an encrypted tunnel between your users and your server: your applications and files remain invisible from the internet and are only accessible to authorised people.

• Remote-access VPN: each member of staff connects to the server from their computer, wherever they are (at home, on the move). 2 remote-access VPN accounts are included in every plan; additional accounts can be selected in the configurator.
• Site-to-site VPN: your office network is permanently connected to the server, as if it were installed on your premises. It is set up on request.

What Windows server management includes

Management is included in the rental of every HaiSoft virtual server. It covers:

• installation and initial configuration of Windows Server;
• round-the-clock monitoring of the server by our technicians: the main services are checked every 5 to 15 minutes and a technician steps in if anything goes wrong;
• system security updates;
• a hardware guarantee: faulty infrastructure parts are replaced within 4 hours of the problem being detected;
• a network connection guarantee, with availability above 99.9%;
• ticket support 24/7, with a response within 2 hours during business hours.

Installation of your business software and specific operations are carried out on a quote basis. Details in our service commitments (SLA).

Windows or Linux virtual server?

For hosting websites, a managed Linux virtual server is the best fit. For fully reserved resources, our managed dedicated servers go up to 16 cores and 64 GB of RAM.

Backing up your Windows server

Data backup is not included by default when you rent a virtual server. It is available with our off-site server backup offer, with plans from 120 GB to 4 TB. To protect your workstations too, discover our Panda antivirus solutions and our Microsoft 365 licences.
