High Performance

Our high-speed storage solution is attached to the myPrivateNetwork® infrastructure, providing you with Gigabit connectivity.

Performance is boosted further with large read and write caches on each of the storage hosts, based on RAM and non-volatile memory.

High Availability

Our high-speed storage for dedicated servers consists of N+1 redundant storage hosts. Each storage host has multiple disk controllers redundantly connected to large disk arrays.

The storage hosts are connected in a full-mesh topology to all parts of our redundant myPrivateNetwork® infrastructure. In case of an equipment or component failure in a storage host, a seamless fail-over process will instantly take place, transparent to our customers, ensuring high-availability.

Choose Your Own File System

High-speed storage is available in increments of 100 GB, and exposed via iSCSI on myPrivateNetwork®.

By connecting your server directly to the iSCSI target, your server is enabled to see the new storage as a directly attached block device, which you can partition and format to your own file system preferences as if it was an ordinary hard disk drive.

ZFS Based Data Integrity

ZFS, an abbreviation for Zettabyte File System, was designed and implemented by Sun Microsystems and introduced in September 2004.

One of the major features that distinguishes ZFS from other file systems is that ZFS employs a 256 bit checksum, end-to-end, to validate data stored under its protection. Most other file systems depend on the underlying hardware to detect data corruption. On ZFS, any corruption detected will automatically be re-constructed from data available through a RAID configuration.

ZFS is a 128 bit file system. Compared to traditional file systems like EXT3, EXT4 or NTFS, the storage space limitations of ZFS were designed to be so large that they would never be encountered. This sets the size limit of a ZFS file system to 256 zettabytes (2^78 bytes) of data.
