Server storage management is a feature of the virtual/physical server hosting services. NSS will build your server RAID configuration to specification as well as monitor and maintain it while you subscribe to our services. NSS supports larger ISCSI or NFS arrays as a part of the Virtual server or backup and restore service infrastructure.

Service Features
We will help you size and design your server or stand alone storage solutions. Stand alone storage solutions may require additional rates and will be subject to NSS storage vendor and configuration standards in order to be "fully supported". Otherwise, "Best effort"support levels may apply.

Performance & Availability
RAID 1 - Disk mirroring - Very high performance; Very high data protection; Very good on write performance
RAID 5 - Block level data striping with distributed parity- Best cost/performance for transaction, Very high performance, very high data protection.
RAID 6 - Same as RAID 5 with x2 parity distributed across the drives - Offers Solid Performance with the additional fault tolerance. (often used on our larger storage arrays)
RAID 10 - Combination of RAID 0 (data striping) and RAID 1 Mirroring) - Highest performance, highest data protection.
