XenSpec is a Chicago-based hosting and managed IT services provider that operates its own network and server infrastructure. They provide dedicated servers, virtual private servers, private cloud environments, colocation, managed IT services, remote desktop solutions, managed storage, and datacenter migration.
The company's infrastructure is distributed across facilities across the USA in Chicago (Illinois), San Jose (California), and Los Angeles (California). In Chicago, XenSpec uses a CoreSite facility, while an additional site in West Chicago provides network services. Colocation services are delivered in partnership with a facility in Mount Prospect, Illinois, which holds multiple compliance certifications. In San Jose, services are hosted at a Hurricane Electric data center. Infrastructure is also available in Los Angeles, though specific facility details are not disclosed.
Virtual private servers run on KVM virtualization with full root access and a self-service portal. They are available across all locations and support both Linux and Windows operating systems, and also include DDoS protection. Dedicated servers are available with customizable configurations using enterprise hardware and can be deployed in multiple locations. These systems support use cases such as virtualization clusters and private cloud environments.
Private cloud deployments are built as single-tenant environments with a choice of hypervisor platforms, including Hyper-V, VMware, and Proxmox. These environments can be configured to meet regulatory requirements and support multi-location deployment for redundancy. Managed storage is based on a distributed storage platform and provides object, file, and block storage options. The company also offers backup and disaster recovery services through partner technologies.
For managed services, XenSpec provides both remote and on-site support, covering infrastructure management, security, and compliance. Remote desktop services are based on standard remote access technologies for hosted desktop environments. Colocation is available in configurations ranging from partial rack space to full racks. XenSpec also provides datacenter migration services, including planning and execution for infrastructure transitions.
XenSpec offers an 99.99% SLA for all plans, remote and on-site support for managed services, and operates their own hardware across their locations.
