Pulsant Technical Specificatin Title Pulsant Dedicated Server Department Prduct Develpment Cntributrs RR Classificatin Restricted Versin 1.0 Overview Pulsant ffer a Dedicated Server service t underpin infrastructure platfrms as a mre traditinal alternative t Clud servers r t underpin Private Clud envirnments. Pulsant uses a cre tlkit f quality server chassis and cmpnent ptins t prvide a vast range f pssible cnfiguratins but prviding that flexibility with the highest level f n-site supprt pssible. Spares fr all standard cmpnents are keep n site at Pulsant datacentres t supprt a 1 hur hardware fix guarantee. Included with the server is hardware health mnitring with the integrated lights-ut management hardware. Additinal mnitring up the stack e.g. perating system health, is included in the crrespnding Managed Server service. Fr mre infrmatin please see the Managed Server prduct. Pulsant prvide three physical server prducts serving differing requirements but built frm the same tlkit. Standard Builds Hardware Pulsant prvide a small number f standard cnfiguratins fr custmers desiring an ff-the-shelf apprach.
