Our RAID server


All standard shell and mailbox accounts include 500 MB 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 500 MB 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 500 MB blocks at $10/month per block. Just send email to accounting@panix.com to make the request.
