As many of you may already be aware from our recent market reaction tests, we are currently in the process of repositioning our applauded Server Colocation services.
The team here at Netwise have always been known for radically rethinking the company’s approach to the market. From our unique facility, right through to our unparalleled personal support network, we have always done things a little differently here. This restructuring of our colocation pricing takes this notion a step further, solidifying our position as the premium data centre of choice in London across all of our service sets (dedicated servers, server colocation, and online backup).
Our acclaimed colocation packages are now the highest value offerings available in the capital, bringing true affordability to London’s retail colocation marketplace. Combining our existing world-class enterprise level service quality with these new price points places Netwise Hosting at the very forefront of the high-demand retail colocation sector.
A snapshot of the new pricing can be seen below, with particular attention to be drawn to our full rack offering, which is just £699 / month until January 2013;
Full Rack Colocation > £799 £699 / month + £0 Setup

The first thing you’re going to notice is the interface. This is the first major departure Microsoft has made from its trusted desktop environment for its server operating system, adopting the new tile layout (Metro) first seen in Windows 8 earlier this year. You can opt to stick to a more traditional desktop environment if you wish, but we certainly feel this will add some variation to how administrators control their machines. This new user interface has been said to make it far easier to manage multiple servers more quickly and efficiently.
One of the key features of Server 2012 is its in-built server virtualisation functionality. While the two entry level editions have very limited virtualisation options (as they are designed primarily for basic single server deployments), Standard and Datacenter both have powerful Hyper-V functionality built right into the core, meaning the base operating system can form the basis of a virtual cloud server setup.
This latest version of the Microsoft Server operating system has been built from the ground up to support cloud platforms. As such, it is perfectly suited to those looking to host virtual machines, databases, applications (SaaS), web hosting, and even desktop hosting. Microsoft’s in-built System Center 2012 handles much of the cloud service management, managing the computing, storage, and network components of the server.
