Helium³ machine

Helium³ virtual machines provide balanced performances for general purpose needs at optimized cost.

Each virtual machine has a dedicated slice of the underlaying hardware resources (there is no over-provisioning), thus allowing to maintain a steady and reliable level of performances.

The virtualisation is based on the Linux kernel, the Qemu machine emulator is running on Dell servers with:

Intel Gold 6138 CPU at 2.0GHz (turbo up to 3.7GHz)
DDR4 memory at 2666 MHz
NVMe storage backend

To provide better availability of your services, each hypervisor has redundant local disk, network cards, switch uplink and power supply.
