What Is Stellar Cloud Server
Stellar was conceived to fulfill the requests of clients needing Cloud Server that can offer Certainty. The market is saturated by cheap cloud servers with uncertain performance, almost never stable and bearer of troubles: who leans towards Stellar wants to be safe and make the proper commitment.
A Stellar server guarantees you servers with Guaranteed Performances that are constant in time, Tranquillity and Safety all the time, at a convenient and honest price.
Stellar servers are a certainty today as well as they will be tomorrow. At first glance the price seems high that other Cloud Providers, but actually they’re lower: carefully evaluate the completeness of the offering and the characteristics of servers! With Stellar servers, Developers and Sysadmins can manage their projects with Tranquillity.
The initial server setup is completely free and technical support (pre sales and post sales) are included as stated in the contract. There are no limitations on the availability of server operating systems, and you can request for less common OSes.
A management console is at your disposal to perform operations like Power on, Power off, Reboot, Reset check used CPU, RAM and Disk resources, have an output console to see what’s going on on the server, make Snapshots and restore to a previous Snapshot.

- I/O Disk MB/s: Guaranteed minimum Performances
Included Services
- Backup: Snapshots, VM backup on other Storage, backup of data with 1Backup agent
- Security: Shared Firewall
- Monitoring: monitoring and Alert management Console

Small Cloud Cluster Architecture
- VMware Technology
- HP Hardware
- 3 Host VMware Hosts on latest-gen HP DL360 servers
- Ultra-fast Storage
Small Cloud Cluster Architecture.
Unlike the general trend of other providers’ infrastructures, Stellar servers are organized in a Small Cloud Cluster Architecture.
We have created a “finite capacity Cloud”!
In order to guarantee performances, we need to know in advance the greatest number of Cloud Servers that the infrastructure can host.
So we calculated a fixed number of Cloud Servers to be hosted on each “Small Cloud Cluster”.
When a cluster hits its capacity, new Cloud Servers will be hosted on a new Small Cloud Cluster.
- VMware + HP
Stellar benefits from the technology of VMware, which stands at the top of Cloud and Virtualization systems and HP hardware for servers and storage.
- VMware 3-Host Clusters
Each Small Cloud Cluster is composed by 3 VMware Hosts on latest generation HP DL360 servers, each one with double Intel Xeon E5 v3 processor, 192GB of Ram, double network interface (for a total of 8 Gigabit channels) and, of course, redundant power supply.
-
Storage: Direct Attached Storage with double 12Gb link
Ultra fast storage connected to VMware hosts with double 12Gb SAS connections to 2 different storage controllers to provide fault tolerance too. SAS disks are configured in RAID6 volumes to offer reliability and performances.
- Data Backup
Each server is provided with the 1Backup service to backup and restore data autonomously, with compression and encryption capabilities. Each 1Backup agent has features to backup Open Files, VSS, MySQL, Microsoft SQL and Oracle databases. The destination space of the 1Backup agent can be incremented according to your needs. By default, there’s a monthly automated backup of the Stellar server; you can increment it.
- Security: Firewall, VLAN and Backup
Each Stellar Cloud Server is protected with a Front End firewall and with a Back End firewall, which can be excluded by associating the public IP directly to the server of by using your firewall of choice. A dedicated and isolated VLAN is created for each client.
A backup system dedicated to Cloud Servers is installed on a separate storage area and connected via iSCSI to each VMware host. You can opt for a virtual firewall based on the Kerio Control technology.
- Public IP directly assigned
You can have an IP public address assigned directly to your server. If so, the client will have the burden to adopt security best practices, including OS-integrated firewalls and other software.
- Scalability
In addition to performances and dedicated technical support, Stellar guarantees an unmatched flexibility and linear scalability, on storage and on servers. Your business can grow smoothly without being tied to limits and without having to make heavy upfront investments. Ram, Cores and storage configurations of virtual machines can be modified at any moment.
- Connectivity
Connectivity Stellar Cloud Servers have a public IPv4 address at disposal; additional IPs can be added. Each server has a 100Mbps bandwidth.
- Support
You can manage your Cloud Servers and the vCenter with a dedicated panel. Each request for technical support guarantee a dedicated support.
Infrastructure
The Stellar Cloud Server infrastructure has been planned starting with the prerogative of offering servers able to give the best performances. In order to remain faithful to this goal we turned upside down the principle that all the other providers adopt. We started from the performances we wanted to offer and then we have planned the architecture that can fit these demands.
VMware + HP
We have chosen the VMware architecture which is the top solution for Cloud and Virtualization systems, and another worldwide leader, HP, for servers and storage.
Small Cloud Cluster
Against the trend of the competitors, we have opted for a Small Cloud Cluster architecture. We have created a "finite capacity cloud"?. We must know the maximum number of Cloud Server to host in an infrastructure to guarantee great performances. Therefore we have fixed a maximum number of Cloud Server for each "Small Cloud Server"?. When a cluster reaches its maximum number of Cloud Servers, the new servers are created on another Small Cloud Cluster.
3 VMware Hosts Clusters
Every Small Cloud Cluster is composed of 3 VMware Hosts hosted on last generation HP DL360 servers, with double Intel Xeon E5 v3 CPUs, 192GB of RAM, double Network Card Interface for a total of 8 1Gb channels, and naturally double alimentation.
Storage: Direct Attached Storage with double 12Gb connections
The storage is connected to every VMware Host with a double 12Gb SAS connection to the two different controllers of the storage to guarantee Fault Tolerance. Disks are configured on several RAID6 volumes to gurantee a better reliability.
Security: Firewall, VLAN, Backup
Every Stellar Cloud Server is protected by a Front End and a Back End firewall that can be excluded, in needed, by associating the public IP address directly to the server or to your own firewall. Moreover, for every client an isolated and dedicated VLAN is created. A Backup service for Cloud Servers is present of a separated storage connected thru iSCSI to every Hypervisor.
Support
Thanks to a dedicated panel it’s possible to independently manage your own Cloud Servers. For every technical needs it’s possible to require a dedicated support.
Best-in-Class Support Included
Get in touch with Senior System Administrators. Stellar support can give you the support you need in all phases of the service: Analysis and Cloud Migration, Management and Troubleshooting.
Most Cloud Providers considers technical support to be optional and offer self-service systems or limited phone support, but we believe that is wrong.
Cloud Server Comparison Table
This table is intended to serve as a comparison between the Stellar IaaS Cloud Server solution and two macro groups.
The first group is that of a single player, namely Microsoft Azure *. The second group, on the other hand, consists of the “average” offering proposed by cloud providers smaller than Microsoft Azure. For example Aruba, OVH and others.
*For this comparison, we’ve chosen Microsoft Azure instead of Amazon AWS or Google Cloud because System Integrator and MSP have historically had more confidence and more relationships and developed a greater know-how with Microsoft solutions than AWS and Google. Furthermore, it should not be forgotten that Microsoft has developed a Partner-centered business compared to AWS and Google in the past, while AWS and Google players have always mainly addressed customers directly. Today Microsoft Azure is aimed at both end customers and partners, to whom, however, it leaves little margin.
