Stellar Zen Server offers secure Cloud Servers with guaranteed, consistent performance over time. Designed for those seeking operational certainty, peace of mind and security, at an accessible and transparent cost. Ideal for business workloads that allow no compromise.

CoreTech managed service · No local installation required

Why

A virtual Enterprise Cloud Server with concrete and clear values is finally available. With Stellar cloud servers, Developers and System Engineers can now manage their projects securely.

The initial server setup is completely free and pre- and post-sales system support is included as per the contract terms. Servers can be tested before the sale is completed. There are no limitations on the availability of server operating systems, so ad hoc requests for less common operating systems are also possible.

Context

In contrast to other infrastructures, Stellar servers are created in a "Cluster" architecture.

In order to guarantee performance, you need to know the maximum number of Cloud Servers that will need to be hosted on the infrastructure. CoreTech has defined a maximum number of cloud servers for each "Cluster". When the Cluster has reached its maximum number of Cloud Servers, the subsequent ones are created on a new "Cluster".

What it is

Stellar, the full optional Enterprise Cloud Server

How it works

Stellar Zen Infrastructure

The Stellar Zen Cloud Server infrastructure was designed with the goal of offering servers capable of providing maximum performance. To remain faithful to this objective, we ignored the principle by which all other providers work: we started from the performance we wanted to offer and then we designed the architecture that could respond to this need.

Who it is for

Developer

With Stellar cloud servers, Developers can manage their projects securely.

Sysadmin

System Engineers find in Stellar guaranteed performance, a complete management console and dedicated system support.

Companies

Stellar Server was created to meet the needs of customers who need secure Cloud Servers to provide certainty.

MSPs and System Integrators

Those who manage infrastructures for third parties find in Stellar a White Label cloud, with Cluster architecture and dedicated support.

Why choose this service

Best in Class Technical Support included

Talk with experienced Technicians and Senior System Administrators. Stellar support can assist you in all stages of the service: Server Analysis and Cloud Migration, Management and Troubleshooting. Most cloud providers consider technical support optional and offer self-service systems or limited telephone access, while we believe this is wrong. When a customer has an issue and needs support, he needs to find a solution fast. It is fundamental to be able to talk to an experienced technician who can understand the issue and propose a solution without delay.

Alerting and automations

Alerting and automations let you constantly monitor the infrastructure and manage virtual servers quickly and centrally, without accessing the operating system directly.

Alerting

Monitor CPU, RAM, disk space and logs, receiving timely notifications in case of anomalies or critical conditions so you can intervene quickly.

Automations

From the console, run operations such as start, stop, reboot, reset, viewing console output, creating snapshots and restoring from existing snapshots. All from a single interface, without having to access the virtual server.

Comparison with other providers

Comparison between Stellar Cloud Server and two market references: Microsoft Azure* and the average offering of smaller cloud providers (e.g. Aruba, OVH and others).

Feature Stellar Microsoft Azure Other Providers
White Label solutions Yes No No
CSP enabling platform Yes No No
CSP enabling platform (Cloud Solution Provider) is defined as a web platform that partners can use to provide Cloud services to their clients, keeping their identity thanks to the White Label feature that allows one to customize the domain, logo, and colours of the portal. Thanks to this platform, a System Integrator, a software house, or a Managed Service Provider can transform their business into a Cloud Solution Provider and compete on equal terms with the largest Cloud solutions players without losing their identity or profitability, and ensuring the security of their customer’s data and underlying infrastructure.
Mobile App resources management Yes No No
Sale to Partners only Yes No No
Pre-sales Technical Support by Telephone Yes No poor
Migration via direct import Yes No No
Post-sales Technical Support Yes optional it depends. Basic support activities

*For the comparison we chose Microsoft Azure rather than Amazon AWS or Google Cloud because System Integrators and MSPs have historically had more familiarity, more relationships and greater know-how with Microsoft solutions compared to those of AWS and Google. It should also not be forgotten that Microsoft, compared to AWS and Google, has in the past developed a Partner-centric business, while the other two players AWS and Google have always mainly addressed customers directly. Today Microsoft Azure addresses both end customers and partners, but leaves them little margin.

Cluster infrastructure
  • Data Backup
    Each server is provided with the 1Backup service which lets you perform backup and restore fully autonomously, in compressed form and – if necessary – also encrypted. Each 1Backup agent has save functionality for Open Files, VSS, MySQL, Microsoft SQL, Oracle. The space assigned to the 1Backup agent can be increased according to your needs. By default, automatic backup of the Stellar server is active with this formula: one daily, one weekly and one monthly. You can increase the number of backups according to your needs (optional).
  • Security: Firewall, VLAN, Backup
    Each Stellar Cloud Server is protected by a Front End firewall and a Backend firewall, which can optionally be excluded by associating the public IP directly with the server or with your own firewall. In addition, a dedicated and isolated VLAN is created for each customer. There is a Cloud Server Backup system on separate storage connected via iSCSI to each Hypervisor. It is also possible to have a dedicated virtual firewall based on Kerio Control technology.
  • Scalability
    In addition to the guarantee of performance and dedicated technical support, the Stellar solution offers exceptional flexibility and linear scalability for your storage. Your business can easily grow without being bound to strict limits and without immediately obliging you to make significant investments. Core, RAM, and storage configurations of the virtual machines can be edited at any time.
  • Proxmox + HP
    Proxmox technology HP server solution and hardware
  • 6 node cluster
    Each Cluster consists of 6 Proxmox Hosts hosted on latest-generation HP DL360 Servers, with dual 2nd-gen Intel Xeon Silver processors, 256GB of RAM, 2 40Gbit network ports for a total of 80Gbit and of course dual power supplies.
  • Storage: Cluster CEPH
    All servers are equipped with 3 SSD disks for a total of 18 enterprise-class 12G SAS SSDs, which make up the CEPH cluster, with a REPLICA 3 setting to guarantee maximum data redundancy.
