General Purpose Server - This icon represents a server or a server group (tier) of up to eight servers. There is no distinction between a single server and a tier of servers. The upper interface (eth0) is incoming. The lower interface (eth1) is outgoing.
All servers are provided with a single 9 GB boot volume at no additional charge. The user has the option of adding up to six additional direct attached volumes, sized 9 to 900 GB each. See further details under Storage Services. |
