1) Server News #1: Failover-IP Service available

When using two or more servers within the EUserv datacenter it may be necessary that an IP address has to be used on multiple servers. This function can be implemented immediately with the EUserv Failover-IP Service.


What is the Failover-IP service?

A Co-IP address is always bound via MAC address and assigned IP to a dedicated server. With the Failover-IP service it is possible to use one or more IP addresses of a server on one or more additional servers within a customer account (=customer ID). So the affected IP address and the underlaying internet services can kept online without DNS changes.


What are the advantages of the Failover-IP Service?

- Load sharing across multiple servers
- Distribution of operation and moving of VPS (virtual servers)
- Temporary operating services on a second server, for example: Server-Exchange
- Avoiding failure scenarios by moving on Hotstandby server
- Load sharing when operating several websites


Requirements for the use of the Failover-IP service are:

- Server with Failover-IP support can connect an IP address maximal to a second server in the same customer account.
- Both servers must support the Failover-IP function.
- Server with enabled Pro Option can connect Failover-IP's to more than one other server.
- Main IP addresses can not be used for the Failover-IP service.


What fees apply for the Failover-IP service?

The Failover-IP service costs 3,57 EUR per month per IP-address and can be ordered via the control panel via management of IP-addresses.

2) Server News #2: Windows Server 2016 TP 3 available

The new Beta version of Windows Server 2016 (Technical Preview 3) is now available for all dedicated servers and can be installed via the EUserv customer panel. You can choose between the "Standard" version (Windows with graphical user interface) and "Standard Core" (minimal installation with command line).


Microsoft has integrated several new features in the server version of Windows 10. Windows Server 2016 offers improvements in Hyper-V and new server roles that help in the management of networks.


The main innovation is likely the integration of Docker. Thus, users have the possibility to virtualize applications isolated in their own OS containers.

More features:

- Nano-Server
- Improved Virtualization with Hyper-V 2016
- Integration of Docker
- Integration of MultiPoint-Server in RDS

3) Support News: Wiki Guide for monitoring hardware RAID with ESXi

If you have rented an EUserv server with hardware RAID controller and VMware support, it is possible to configure the monitoring of the RAID's state.

A detailed instruction in our Wiki shows how to configure the ESXi hosts so that a reading of the RAID status within the vSphere Client is possible.
