Companies in search of a solution providing hourly billed KVM cloud servers with snapshots and block storage
About LunaNode
Deploy a reliable, performant, and feature-packed cloud server, available in Canada (Toronto and Montreal) and France (Roubaix). KVM cloud servers on redundant SSD disk arrays. Check out our pricing! Take live snapshots of your VM at any time to extract its current disk state for backups or cloning, without any downtime. Volumes are detachable disks stored on our high-availability cluster. Attach volumes to VMs for extra space, or provision VMs with a volume as the boot device. Automatically configure your VM during the boot process with bash and cloud-init startup scripts. Security groups allow you to define traffic restrictions on groups of virtual machines at the infrastructure level. Your VMs get their own private, isolated internal network, on which they can securely communicate. VMs can burst above their baseline performance for short periods to utilize additional CPU and I/O resources, making load spikes easier on your application.

Windows Server Failover Clustering
Failover Clustering in Windows Server (and Azure Local) enables a group of independent servers to work together to improve availability and scalability for clustered roles (formerly known as clustered applications and services). These nodes are interconnected via hardware and software, and if one node fails, another assumes its roles through an automated failover process. Clustered roles are actively monitored and, if they stop functioning, are restarted or migrated to maintain service continuity. The feature also supports Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs), which provide a unified, distributed namespace and consistent shared storage access across nodes, reducing service disruptions. Typical uses include high‑availability file shares, SQL Server instances, and Hyper‑V virtual machines. Failover Clustering is supported on Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025, and in Azure Local environments.

Phillux
Phillux is a virtualization platform for your own servers. It manages virtual machines and LXC containers along with storage, images, virtual networks, snapshots, clones, backups and a per-guest firewall - from a single host up to a small cluster with shared OCFS2 storage and live migration of running VMs.
Windows 11 guests get UEFI, Secure Boot and a virtual TPM 2.0 automatically and install unattended. Linux guests boot from ready cloud images via cloud-init. Existing guests import from VMware ESXi or Proxmox.
The firewall attaches to each guest's network device, not the host, so a wrong rule can never lock you out. A ransomware brake watches writes beneath the guest and pauses a machine when data turns to noise - halted, not killed, so the step is reversible and the encryption key stays in frozen memory.
Every function is a documented REST endpoint. Runs on Debian 13, licensed per CPU socket. Your data stays on your hardware: no cloud, no telemetry.
