From today, our customers can benefit from a new generation of servers. As we mentioned in our previous announcement, the offer has been simplified to the following server models:

Pro:

• 1 Intel Xeon E3-1265LV2 CPU (4 cores)
• 32 GB RAM
• 2x 1000 GB 3.5" SATA 7.2k
• Total of 4 slots for 3.5" HDDs (now also available with SSDs as an option)
• 1 power supply

Dual:

• 2 Intel Xeon E5-2630L CPUs (2x 6 cores) 
• 32 GB RAM (can be expanded up to 192 GB as an option) 

• 2x 1000 GB 2.5" SATA 10k 

• Total of 8 slots for 2.5" HDDs (available with SAS or SSDs as an option) 

• Hardware-RAID controller (RAID-0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60) 
• RAID BBU (battery backup unit) 
• 2 power supplies on different power circuits, each with UPS.

The server model SAS/SSD-Xeon is now offered as a Dual, which can be expanded to SAS and/or SSD hard disks to the SAS/SSD-Xeon configuration with the corresponding hardware upgrades. Another change is the entry server model, for which the Pro model’s predecessor generation system is used with two cores instead of four.

Rack server systems from Intel are used as server hardware. It is a little known fact that Intel not only offers high performance CPUs, but also high quality server systems. These server systems have been specially optimized for the data centre environment and provide very high energy efficiency. nine.ch has a strategic partnership with Intel and is one of the few Intel Platinum partners in Switzerland.

The new server models not only improve performance and increase the standard of basic equipment, but also use less electricity, thanks to low power CPUs and high efficiency power supplies, and are thereby more environmentally-friendly than the previous versions. Despite the numerous improvements and updates, the basic price remains the same.

You will benefit from the new server generation when making an order with immediate effect. Orders will be processed in order of receipt and waiting times may arise under some circumstances.

From mid-May 2013, a new server generation will be available to our customers. The new Intel servers form the basis of all solutions and products from nine.ch (with the exception of co-location and housing).

With the launch, the offer will also be simplified, so that in future the following servers will be available:

Pro:

• 1 CPU (4 cores)
• 32 GB RAM
• 2x 1000 GB 3.5” SATA 7.2k 
• total of 4 slots for 3.5” HDDs (available as an option with SSDs)
• 1 power supply

Dual:

• 2 CPUs (each with 6 cores)
• 32 GB RAM (expandable as an option up to 192 GB)
• 2x 1000 GB 2.5” SATA 10k
• total of 8 slots total for 2.5” HDDs (available as an option with SAS or SSDs)
• Hardware-RAID controller (RAID-0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60)
• RAID BBU (battery back-up unit)
• 2 power supplies connected to different power circuits and USPs

The new models not only bring more power and a higher standard of equipment, but also require less current thanks to low-power CPUs and high efficiency power supplies, and are thus more environmentally friendly than their predecessors. The basic price remains unchanged, despite numerous improvements and upgrades.

Advance orders will be gladly accepted by email, and will be processed in order of receipt.

Nine Internet Solutions AG, one of the leading Swiss providers, specialises in high-quality managed services and project-specific work in the area of high availability.

For this reason, we ceased to offer new customers shared hosting services in October 2011. Existing customers will continue to be able to use this service; however, nine.ch will no longer provide additional hosting services as of 15 February 2013 and no further changes will be made to these products.

For comprehensive services in this area, we recommend www.cyon.ch and www.hostpoint.ch. If you choose to change hosts, we will of course refund the prepaid fees for the remainder of the year. Please contact buha@nine.ch as soon as the change has been finalised.
