We bought tons of new hardware recently and our rack is full up with servers. I'm a small ISP and my company is a one-man-and-a-half-show. This is one reason i always buy servers with mostly redundant parts (RAID, Power-Supplies, etc.) to avoid downtime if I'm not around. But on the other hand, a nice 1 inch server is about 1500 dollars. If this pushes over reliablity and reputation, it's worth. We have only a few hundred accounts. Could this be an overkill?? ============================================ Am Donnerstag, 25.
