Are you in need of more solid and reliable disk subset? How about better hardware failover? Improved disk input/output performance? RAID, or Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is the solution to these inquiries. RAID technology integrates multiple disks into a single array to achieve larger and faster performance goals.
RAID options are available with the purchase of any HostDime dedicated server. Servers are fully customizable during the order process to add a variety of RAID options or SSD drives to increase performance or an endless amount of RAM.
That’s where the HostDime Raid Calculator comes in. Our drag-and-drop RAID calculation tool compares and configures RAID options and drive sizes to expand on your server’s performance and reliability.
Grab and place the drives into the slots to see each RAID’s description, disk capacity, disk input/output performance, minimum number of disks, fault tolerance, and more.
Add a BBU to Your RAID
A BBU, or battery backup unit, is a device that protects and maintains cached data that is on your server’s raid card. Essentially, a BBU is a data fail safe.
HostDime is one of the few data center providers in the world that not only offers BBU for RAID controllers, but has technicians checking the battery constantly. HostDime uses MegaRAID’s intelligent battery backup unit that preserves data integrity for 72 hours. If you are a current client and have a raid card, contact us to add a MegaRAID BBU for $20 a month.
