Do I get fair share of CPU?

Yes, we limit the maximum host allocated to each hypervisor. We implement enterprise-class resilience, with multi-layered security, a self-healing architecture and automatic hypervisor failover. We constantly monitor the status of servers in the cloud and provides an extremely valuable automatic failover process, in the event that a hypervisor becomes unavailable. Failover is initiated in 15 seconds if our system receives no response from a hypervisor, and the virtual machines it hosts are automatically migrated to another suitable hypervisor in the cloud.

We are using XEN as hypervisor technology and OnApp for our controller API to our front end. Why XEN? Very simple, mature, stable and resources guaranteed. We want to guarantee resources for our customers. The concept of Cloud VM should be affordable and simple.
