Our RAID server


All standard shell and mailbox accounts include 1 GB of disk space on a RAID server. (Some classes of accounts include more.)
RAID servers offer special data protection by virtue of their redundancy. If a disk fails, there is a hot swap immediately available for use.

Additionally, Panix's RAID server offers special short-term backups called snapshots. Several times a day, the server records whatever files are in your account. If you accidentally delete a file, or over-write and save the wrong version, it's often possible to retrieve the file you want. Since deletes on a Unix system are normally irrevocable, this is a big win over conventional disks.

Of course, this sort of storage is more expensive than the conventional disks would be for the same amount of storage. We include 1 GB of storage for personal files, mail, and web files with all of our standard shell and mailbox accounts.

Users who need more space can purchase it in 1 B blocks at $10/month per block. Just send email to accounting@panix.com to make the request.
