Floating IPs NEW
Seeing its applications out of service and its website offline during a cyberattack, an operating incident, or during an exceptional increase in load, this is the fear of many companies. Such unavailability can lead to loss of data, productivity, but also loss of revenue.

This situation can now be avoided thanks to IP flottantes, a real anticipation solution, acting as a natively managed DRP. The principle is simple: make the IP of its servers “floating”, thus making it possible to redirect traffic to another machine located in a separate datacenter, in order to prevent and minimize any service interruptions.

In this system, companies can:
  Automate switching from one service to another ("fail-over"), without DNS propagation delay, limiting downtime
  Assign additional geolocated IP addresses and thus expand their audience and maximize their traffic
  Host several websites on the same instance, and thus relieve the main server during a load increase

Help & FAQsThe most frequently asked questions

See everything Close everything
What is a VPN?
VPN is the acronym for “Virtual Private Network”. When you surf the Internet without a VPN, that is, publicly, and send emails or share files, you generate traffic on a shared virtual network. You cannot leave this network without leaving a trace behind you. This information can then be easily intercepted and hacked.
A VPN gathers your information via an encryption system. Your data then cannot be decrypted by other key players such as your Internet provider or other websites in general. The encryption is carried out as per different protocols (PPTP, OpenVPN, IPSec, etc.).
This encryption creates a private channel, that is, a closed line between the customer using the VPN and the server VPN. This is why the VPN service always needs a user and a supplier.
VPN is often used within the context of teleworking to guarantee the employee a secure connection with the company’s tools.
What is a transit IP ?
A transit IP refers to the bandwidth sold by Internet service providers and content providers. The traditional pricing is based on the bandwidth used by the customer during a calendar month, as well as on a minimum usage commitment.
What is a load balancer ?
By definition, load balancing is a group of methods used in the IT world to:
  • Increase processing speed (which facilitates an increase in the number of possible visitors on a website by increasing the number of hosts available.)
  • Optimise the processing of requests and thus guarantee a high level of service availability.
What is a firewall ?
A firewall is a digital tool (hardware and/or software) designed to protect a network’s data (protection of a personal computer linked to the Internet, for example, or protection of a business network). It facilitates the guarantee of data security on a network by controlling outputs as per the rules defined by its administrator. The firewall secures the network, server infrastructures, and physical machines.
