With server co-location, the customer owns the equipment and deploys it in data center where we connect to the Internet. Dedicated hosting is where we provide the equipment and the customer rents it on a contractual basis.

Yes. Most modern server operating systems support remote administration, or have application software that allows remote administration to be performed. You may use any remote administration program to administer your server(s) co-located in our facility.

Raid 5 parity information is interspersed across the drive array. RAID 5 requires a minimum of 3 drives. One drive can fail without affecting the availability of data. In the event of a failure, the controller regenerates the lost data of the failed drive from the other surviving drives.
By distributing parity across the arrays member disks, RAID Level 5 reduces (but does not eliminate) the write bottleneck. The result is asymmetrical performance, with reads substantially outperforming writes. To reduce or eliminate this intrinsic asymmetry, RAID level 5 is often augmented with techniques such as caching and parallel multiprocessors.
RAID 5 is a general-purpose RAID storage solution. It is recommended for applications where:

• Data availability is important
• Large volumes of data are stored
• Multi tasking applications using I/O transfers of different sizes
• Good read and moderate write performance is important

Raid Level 1 means that one drive mirrors the other. In the event that one of your drives fails, the other will immediately continue to serve data.
