Dedicated Physical Server Hosting in Australian Data Centres

HPE and IBM servers, fully managed in Cloud365 Australian data centres

Some workloads benefit from dedicated physical hardware rather than virtualisation — high-performance database servers, compute-intensive applications, or environments where the predictability of dedicated resources matters more than the flexibility of virtual machines. Cloud365 provisions and manages physical servers in its Australian data centres for these requirements.

All physical servers run on HP ProLiant and IBM enterprise hardware. They are housed in our own data centre facilities — not in a colocation rack where you're responsible for your own administration. Our team manages the hardware, the operating environment, and all the surrounding services: network, security, backup, monitoring and support.

HP ProLiant and IBM server hardware — enterprise-grade, currently supported
Fully managed in Cloud365 data centres — not colocation self-management
Custom specification: CPU, RAM, storage and network for your workload's requirements
Onsite spare parts held at each data centre — hardware failures resolved in hours, not days waiting for shipping
Redundant power and cooling in enterprise data centre facilities
Physical security: access-controlled facilities, surveillance, visitor logging
Operating system installation, hardening and ongoing administration
Network configuration — dedicated VLANs, firewall rules, IP allocation

Onsite spares
Hardware failures resolved fast
We hold critical hardware spares at each facility. When a drive, NIC or RAM module fails, it's replaced from on-hand stock — not from a distributor who delivers in 3–5 days.
Data centres
Australian facilities
Physical servers are housed in our Sydney DC3 (Alexandria NSW), Melbourne DC6 (Port Melbourne VIC) and Darwin DC1 facilities. International locations available for specific requirements.

Load Balancer Configuration and Management for High-Availability Applications

Intelligent traffic distribution across multiple servers for high-availability and scale

A load balancer distributes incoming traffic across multiple application servers, ensuring no single server carries the full load. This enables both high availability — if one server fails, traffic routes to the remaining healthy servers automatically — and horizontal scaling, where adding more servers increases capacity without changing application code.

Cloud365 configures and manages load balancers for applications that require them — whether that's distributing web traffic across a cluster of application servers, providing health-check-based failover, or enabling zero-downtime deployments by gradually shifting traffic to newly deployed instances.

Hardware and software load balancers configured for your application's traffic patterns
Health checking — unhealthy servers removed from rotation automatically
Session persistence configuration for applications that require sticky sessions
SSL termination at the load balancer — simplifying certificate management across server clusters
Traffic shaping and rate limiting — protect backend servers from traffic spikes
Zero-downtime deployment support — rolling deployments without dropped connections
Geographic load balancing across multiple data centre locations
Monitoring of load balancer health and traffic distribution metrics

Use cases
When load balancing helps
High-traffic web applications, APIs serving multiple concurrent users, applications requiring guaranteed uptime during deployments, and wagering platforms expecting surge traffic during major events are the most common use cases.
Always-on
Traffic keeps flowing
Load balancer configuration ensures that a single server failure doesn't take your application down. Traffic routes to healthy servers automatically, and our monitoring catches the failure for remediation.
