Server Disk Storage

Server Disk Storage is a set of offerings designed for server-class computers. Server Disk Storage balances performance and reliability with cost. For most services, the level of performance and reliability are more than sufficient; examples include email, and calendar data and the databases that support HelpSU. Disk failures may occur a few times a year but are noticeable only during peak demand.

Server Disk Storage supports iSCSI and SAN connections. Fiber and copper connections are available. NFS is supported in the Server Disk Storage offerings.

Note: Server Disk Storage does not include backups. Backup and storage are two separate services; backup service is by subscription. The storage team works with clients to customize backups to the needs of their applications.

Features
