Features & options
A Smart Server is a new kind of dedicated server that offers both the power of a Classic Dedicated Server and the flexibility of Cloud Computing. It uses virtualization, but you still get your own dedicated server hardware.
Powered by Smart Layer
Every Smart Server is powered by Smart Layer, a new server provisioning technology developed by iWeb.
A Smart Server is a new generation of dedicated server bringing cloud computing advantages to the dedicated server and eliminating cloud computing's resource limitations. Customer buy and use a Smart Server the same way they would have bought a classic Dedicated Server except that the Smart Layer OS sits between the physical server hardware and the Smart Server.
In fact, a Smart Server is a Virtual Machine residing inside the Smart Layer OS, on a single piece of server hardware, and using 100% of the physical server resources. There is always only one Smart Server per physical server making the product very similar to classic dedicated servers.

| Easy Migration | | | |

| Virtualization-Ready | |
Time Saving
Rapid Deployment
Available in a wide range of server configurations, our provisioning platform will have your Smart Server up and running in as little as 15 minutes (from the moment your payment is cleared).
Easy Migration
Thanks to Smart Layer, your server environment is hardware-independent which means it can be easily migrated from one dedicated server to another with nothing to worry about.
Control
Control Center
In constant development, the new Control Center gives you more control over your Smart Server. New features will be added frequently and will be accessible right from the control panel as they are released.
Virtual Console
Available at all times, the virtual console allows you to manage your server as if you were onsite. You diagnose system errors or control the server through its native graphical user interface.
Performance
Dedicated Hardware
Smart Servers are dedicated servers whose hardware and resources are 100% allocated to you. Server safety and integrity are reinforced as your critical data is completely separated from other environments.
SuperSmart
Turbocharge the LAN to 1000Mbps, create a private local network with Smart Groups, add a firewall for security, double your traffic allocation to 20TB and more for only $20/month.
Flexibility
Multiple Choice of OS
Available in a wide range of server configurations. When you order your Smart Server, you can choose between Windows Server or various Linux distributions (CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu).
Advanced Networking
Smart Servers are ready for multiple server configurations. They benefit from free unlimited local network connectivity, which is ideal for server to server communications.
Windows Features
Windows Server 2012
Smart Servers are optimized to work with Windows 2012 standard edition, a flexible platform with powerful tools that streamline configuration and management tasks.
Your Smart Server uses a single virtual machine inside the Smart Layer OS to bring you even greater control through more advanced tools and configurations.
This also means that further virtualization of Smart Servers is not possible, but see our Dedicated Server page for virtualization-ready servers with Windows Server 2012.
