Collax V-Bien Office
Fail-safe IT for small businesses, start-ups, medical practices, freelancers and branch offices
The use of Collax V-Bien Office is also worthwhile for small offices and doctors’ surgeries with just a few workstations. The complete package for virtualization and high availability includes software, hardware and support.
Cost-effective entry-level variant
With Collax V-Bien Office, we offer you a cost-effective entry-level variant for virtualization and high availability that has been specially developed for medical practices and freelancers. With a maximum of one processor with 4 cores and a maximum of 32 GB RAM per node, Collax V-Bien Office offers the same range of functions as Collax V-Bien Pro. Your data is always available and secure.
No more data loss. Never again IT failure
The patented Collax Fencing Device ensures data integrity in any operating state and reliably protects against split brain and deathmatch. Collax Proactive HA intercepts all cases of hardware failure and evacuates the affected node.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
Security and High Availability
Collax V-Bien Office consists of two identical units. A failure is thus intercepted and all company servers remain in operation. Thanks to the patented Collax Fencing Device, the availability of the servers can be maintained even in the event of a sudden failure of one unit. If, on the other hand, a failure is announced, Proactive HA becomes active and evacuates the node as a precaution.
Virtual networking
Collax V-Bien Office offers the possibility to create several virtual networks. Additional built-in network interfaces are supported via virtual switches. Network infrastructures can thus be replicated virtually as required.
Complete package
Collax V-Bien Office combines all the necessary components in a single solution. This saves costs and simplifies maintenance. There is a common point of contact for questions or problems.
Easy administration
Collax V-Bien Office is administered like a single server. Since the user interface can be operated via a browser, all settings can be made remotely. The servers and their backups can also be managed remotely and status information and statistics can be retrieved.
Efficient use of existing resources
In regular operation, to distribute the load of the servers, both units are used by Collax V-Bien Office. Only in the event of an error do the running servers have to move closer together.
Virtualization as a basis
In order to achieve the high availability of any company server, Collax V-Bien Office uses modern virtualization technology. This allows you to additionally benefit from all the advantages of virtualization.
In practice
Once the two Collax V-Bien Office units have been set up, existing servers can simply be moved over the network. After that, they are highly available without further adaptation. If Collax V-Bien Office detects a defect, it informs the person responsible. At the same time, he ensures that this unit is no longer used. Once the defect has been rectified, Collax V-Bien Office returns to redundant operation.

Collax Central
With Collax Central you always have an overview of all Collax servers. This makes administration much easier. Thanks to active system monitoring, Collax Central points out problems at an early stage and offers an effective tool for efficient and fast administration. This is where all the information comes together. This allows problems in a large server landscape to be identified at a glance. Sporadic and regular maintenance tasks are completed quickly.
Always everything in view
The compact overview provides immediate access to all important information on hardware utilization, updates and license terms. Many more detailed information can be displayed with a single click. If maintenance work is due or a problem is detected, a further click is sufficient to perform the administration task.
Hierarchy and structure make the difference
All servers can be sorted into a freely configurable, hierarchical structure. The administrator can create his individual dashboard according to his requirements. Thus he has all information available quickly and clearly. The flexible search function as well as a multitude of filters complete the range of functions.
Collax V-Transfer
The Collax V-Transfer module gives administrators more flexibility in handling VMs and increases scalability when Collax V-Bien, Collax V-Cube and Collax V-Cube+ interact. This is because Collax Transfer provides functions for transferring VMs between the products as required.
Simple and safe operation
With just a few mouse clicks, it is possible to transfer a VM directly between two Collax V-Servers or to change the storage type and other properties before the transfer. Before the transfer starts, a detailed check is performed to determine whether the VM can be operated on the opposite side. Actions that affect the smooth transfer and errors during the transfer are prevented respectively intercepted.
Optimal interaction: Collax V-Transfer and Collax Central
Together with Collax Central, the operation of Collax virtualization solutions is significantly enhanced. A transfer can be initiated conveniently via the dashboard.
- Higher scalability
- More flexibility
- VM transfer between all Collax V products
- Convenient operation via Collax Central
