Dedicated Offsite NAS Appliance
Our new dedicated NAS appliance option is available to all colocation, rackspace and dedicated server customers as an alternative to our shared NAS service.
The NAS appliance is located at our second (disaster recovery) site, connected by our redundant fibre ring over a private VLAN back to your server(s). A choice of three configurations give you between 500GB and 2TB of usable space.
To use this service you will need a free port on the server(s) that you intend to connect to this service. In the case of dedicated servers already connected to our NAS service, we would simply disconnect the NAS cable from your second network interface, and use this to connect to your private NAS.
The traffic between your servers and the NAS appliance are completely unmetered, so you wouldn't pay for any bandwidth used over this service.
| 10Mbps VLAN | 100Mbps VLAN | |
|---|---|---|
| 500GB Offiste NAS | £50 per month | £100 per month |
| 1TB Offiste NAS | £100 per month | £150 per month |
| 2TB Offsite NAS | £175 per month | £225 per month |
Note: Quoted space is based on no drive redundancy. If RAID is required, available space will be lower.
The NAS server can be accessed by Windows File Sharing (SMB), HTTP, Appletalk and FTP.
To add this service to your account, please contact your account manager.
