Linux & KVM
A Linux-based virtualization platform for running virtual machines with their own operating systems and application environments.
FIRST SERVER
Cloud Services
Linux KVM virtualization, virtual machines and cloud resources deployed on servers in modern datacenters around the world.
Virtual infrastructure and workloads
FIRST SERVER provides virtualization services and virtual machines for websites, applications, development environments and business systems. Our cloud infrastructure uses KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), the virtualization technology integrated into Linux, to run separate virtual machines on physical server hardware.
Each virtual machine has its own guest operating system and allocated compute, memory, storage and network resources. Hardware-assisted virtualization provides a practical foundation for independent workloads. Available operating systems, resource allocation and performance depend on the selected plan and host configuration.
Resource allocation
CPU, memory, storage and connectivity are allocated according to the service configuration. Resource changes depend on host capacity and contractual specifications.
Modern datacenters
Our virtual infrastructure runs on physical servers in modern datacenter environments, with specifications defined for each service.

International cloud infrastructure
Our cloud infrastructure is located in Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Sofia, Fujairah, Singapore, Tokyo and São Paulo. These locations support geographically distributed application workloads. Capacity, network options, management and backup services vary by location and configuration.
Data-location and processing arrangements are defined for each service. A selected server location alone does not define every support, backup or international data-transfer arrangement; these should be agreed for the service.
