About Our Company
|
 is a company for sysadmins
(System Administrators). We are sysadmins providing services to sysadmins. Our customers are
technical people who knows quality hardware when they see it, and appreciate having competent
sysadmins as their first line of support. Think of us as a sysadmin boutique™.
|
Xssist provides Singapore dedicated servers and VPS. We specialise as follows,
|
1. Opteron Servers on the hardware side, standardize on the servers used, and stock up
fanatically on spare parts, including CPUs, RAM, harddisks, solid state drives (SSDs).
This allows us to respond quickly to hardware problems, swapping out faulty parts, or entire server chassis,
without having to wait for hardware vendors to respond to service calls.
We started using 4-socket servers in Dec 2005. In 2007, we provided customers with Dual cores CPUs,
8 core servers. In 2008, we were able to offer 8 socket, 16-cores servers. For 2010, we included 32-core, 128 GB
servers with SSDs to our product line.
We have been using mainly SCSI disks since 2005, moving towards SSDs from 2010. We insist on having at
least RAID 1 or 10 on servers. SATA with RAID 1 is used for backup storage (ftp or rsync).
|
2. CentOS (RedHat Enterprise Linux clone) for OS on our own servers. We do provide
installation and SPLA license for Windows 2008 (both Enterprise and Datacenter editions) and MSSQL
if required, for dedicated servers. However, our focus is on linux servers.
|
3. Virtuozzo for our Virtual Private Servers (VPS). Xssist being a linux shop;
we considered mainly 2 products, Virtuozzo (OS Partitioning/ Virtualization) and Xen (Virtual
Machine/ VMM). Xssist's choice is Virtuozzo. We are a Parallels Gold Partner.
|
|
4. cPanel for web hosting control panel. Customers are welcomed to install directadmin,
ensim etc. Our recommendation however, is for cPanel. We are an authorized cPanel partner, and we are
very good in cPanel. cPanel provides scripts to install and update apache, mysql, php easily; web
interfaces for non-sysadmin end users to manage DNS, MTAs, POP & IMAP, management of email accounts
etc; frees up sysadmin time.
|
5. Singapore presence. We choose to serve mainly customers operating from
Singapore, or need to have a server in Singapore or Asia Pacific region. Our servers are located
in Singapore data centres, our support is located in Singapore. We provide Singapore dedicated servers;
in particular, high end linux dedicated servers.
