What does the Rackspace Cloud use for a storage system? Have you done anything there to make it redundant?
Nothing as important as your website should be served from a single hard drive, but you’d be surprised by how many web hosts have little more redundancy than a pair of crossed fingers. We’re different and for good reason. The advanced architecture powering our hosting solution uses groups of high-performance, network attached storage devices to reliably serve every web page, and image. Inside each storage device, drives are mirrored to each other in a RAID configuration to create a first level of redundancy. And, as a final precautionary measure, all data on the system is automatically backed up on a repeating schedule.
