FAQ:
Q) How does High Availability work?
A) If a server node fails due to hardware fault then your vSlice can be evacuated and restarted on another server node in minutes, reducing downtime significantly.
Q) Are CPU, RAM and Disk guaranteed?
A) Yes - During peak times your vSlice can be shifted dynamically to other nodes in the server-farm, making sure you always receive 100% of your allocation.
Q) What is SAN storage?
A) SANs (Storage Area Networks) are the best way to store files and folders. A SAN is a large array of intelligent drives designed for very high reliability and performance. MD stores your data across 2x16 load-balanced arrays.
Q) My current VPS provider does not use a SAN. They store my data on local disk and do not cluster my VPS - am I safe?
A) We've put together some failure scenarios to help you make an informed decision.
Scenario 1: Oversold VPS Server
Ordinary VPS: Your server slows to a crawl during peak hours, and may even crash hard if it runs out of memory
MD vSlice: Your server is migrated effortlessly to a different server node without you even noticing. Resources are therefore guaranteed.
Scenario 2: Single Drive Failure
Ordinary VPS: Performance slows to a crawl (or the server is taken offline) as the raid-set is rebuilt. Vulnerable to dataloss. Provider may need to rush to datacentre quickly to avoid further failure.
MD vSlice: SAN rebuilds drive automatically. No noticeable change in performance.
Scenario 3: Multiple Drive Failure
Ordinary VPS: Completely offline. Total data loss.
MD vSlice: SAN cluster has 4 hotspares and can deal with multiple drive failures. Minor performance hit until RAID is rebuilt
Scenario 4: Server hardware failure
Ordinary VPS: Completely offline. Downtime will range from between several hours and several days if the provider does not have spare hardware or maintenance contracts.
MD vSlice: Server is evacuated to a spare node and rebooted in just a few minutes. You may not even notice that anything happened.
Q) My O/S is not on the list, is it supported?
A) Most Linux, Unix and Windows variations that can run on the x86 instruction set are supported (including older legacy O/S). If in doubt you can always ask us.
