• Reduces Monthly Costs – A rack mount server is optimized for cabinet installation and thus takes up less physical space which saves you on monthly colocation fees. • Maximized Uptime – Rack mount serves are designed for maximum uptime. Many include redundant nic cards, power supplies, hard drives eliminating the downtime from a loss of any one of those items. Multiple hard drives configured in certain RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) configurations eliminate a system failure with the loss of a hard drive. Note RAID Zero does not eliminate a system failure with the loss of one drive.
