Its portfolio covers web hosting for PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails and Apache Tomcat, Zimbra email, virtual private servers on x86 and ARM hardware with the Xen hypervisor, OpenBSD virtual machines, physical and GPU servers, managed Kubernetes on dedicated ARM servers, a web application firewall and server housing.
