Windows and Linux virtual servers in our Austin data center, for your apps, internal tools and remote staff. We run the servers, test that the backups restore, and an engineer answers when something breaks.
Talk to a consultant
We install and configure the servers, operating system, databases and services you need, then handle patching, backups and restore tests, monitoring and the changes your team requests. Your team owns the application and its releases.
Your applications run on virtual machines by default, for portability and redundancy.
Engineers monitor load and resize servers up or down on request, and predictable billing means servers can simply stay on. Kubernetes handles application-level elasticity.
| Server in the office | Big public cloud | Petrichor | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware | You buy it, and replace it every few years | The provider's, shared by default, dedicated at extra cost | Ours, in our Austin data center, in your own network segment |
| Server management | Your staff or an IT vendor | Your team, or managed services at extra cost | Petrichor engineers, as hands on as you choose |
| Monthly bill | Power, cooling and upkeep, plus the next hardware purchase | Usage based, so it moves with traffic and settings | A predictable monthly rate set in your service agreement |
| Data transfer fees | None, within your office connection | Charged for data going out | None |
| Who you call | Whoever set it up | Support, priced by plan | The engineers who run your servers |
We rehearse the move on a copy first, test it with your team, then cut over on a date you pick.
It’s a thirty minute call with a consultant. Bring what you’re running and what you need it to do.
