Offsite Network Attached Storage (NAS) Space
Our offiste NAS space is available to all colocation, rackspace and dedicated server customers.
The NAS appliance is located at a third location, separate to both our Reynolds (primary) and Greenheys(disaster recovery) sites, and is connected by our redundant fibre ring over a private VLAN back to your server(s). Space is available in increments of 10GB, up to 50GB, at which point a dedicated NAS appliance becomes more cost effective.
To use this service you will need a free port on the server(s) that you intend to connect to this service.
The traffic between your servers and the NAS appliance are completely unmetered, so you wouldn't pay for any bandwidth used over this service.
The service is simply priced at £10 per 10GB block per month. This is presented as 'raw' storage which you cab mount on your server using Windows File Sharing/SMB/Appletalk. Alternatively it can be accessed through FTP.
The space is protected by RAID5.
To add this service to your account, please contact your account manager.
