As those of us here at Contest Corner headquarters can tell you, server uptime is very important. There’s nothing worse than a server crash causing your website to go down for hours! At times in the past, we have toyed with the idea of creating our own server to host this site on, but that would require an array of hard drives, stacked together and sharing information. That way, if one goes down, your data – and website – still remain up. And that is exactly what the Dell Storage SC4020 does!
This mega-storage is perfect for businesses, serving as a SAN entry point that has been receiving a lot of praise. And although it’s probably out of my budget at the moment, it is an affordable option for small businesses, with 0% financing available (A 36 month finance lease is required) and lower pricing. Honestly, I’d love one of these just to store my personal files on as backup, but maybe that’s overkill. 😉
Are you a blogger/business owner and if so, how do you deal with data storage? Have you ever had a major crash and burn with either data getting lost, your site going down, or both? Would you consider something like this?
