Hard is Hardware raid with a physical add-in card or on board on motherboard.
Soft is Software raid built with software.

Hardware is slightly faster but if the h/w dies you need to wait for a new card and it must be the same card. Software never has hardware to break so it's easily restorable on any PC any hardware.

What is supposed to be the difference between a "hard" and "soft" raid?

Also, this statement, "All servers at ovh.co.uk are raid-1 / 0 soft or hard. We don't offer servers with a single disc, because of the lack of safe storage." makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Is raid 0 meant to be "safe"? Raid 0 is twice as unsafe as just a single disk.

Hello,

With the "revolution" range, we took into account the feedback from our customers regarding the guarantees of service, support, incident management and bandwidth while still offering the latest generation, the most innovative, greenest and therefore most interesting on the market.

We wanted to offer a wide range of servers with a choice of almost customised hardware and services. The aim is to respond to the maximum of different needs and therefore to satisfy the maximum number of customers.

The servers start from 49.99 pounds +VAT / month and up to 333 pounds +VAT / month. The set up fees are 49 pounds +VAT (Free for a payment of 12 months).

All servers at ovh.co.uk are raid-1 / 0 soft or hard. We don't offer servers with a single disc, because of the lack of safe storage. The proposed discs have a capacity of 2x500GB, 2x750GB, 2x1000GB, 2x149GB or 5x750GB and therefore for a storage that can go from 500GB to 2.8TB.

The servers have a guaranteed bandwidth of 100Mbps minimum to 1Gbps (depending on number of servers that the client owns). In case of needs, we offer 100Mbps guaranteed bandwidth more for only 149 pounds +VAT / month. The customer may allocate the 100Mbps more to one or all of their servers.

Ovh offers 4 lines of servers, Superplan, EG, MG and HG, which are respectively Dual Core, Xeon Quad, Bi Xeon Quad on the platform with one supply and top of range server with Xeon Bi Quad which are two redundant power supplies in the chassis.

Each line of servers has 3 versions in terms of hardware with more or less RAM and more or less discs, except HG which has 4.

You can customize finishing your server regarding the number of IP, backup size, guarantees of intervention and repair in case of failure, network availability, and penalties for non-compliance with gurarantees. For example, you can have the server with a guarantee of intervention in 30 minutes and repair in 1 hour, 7 days a week every day of the year, having 128 IP more, a backup of 3TB, the network guarantee of 99.99%, and have access to the penalties of 10% per hour problem up to 100% of the monthly server price.

With the revolution, we want each client to find a server with services that he/she really and exactly needs. A business server (for the team members of a company), pro servers (for resale services) and critical (which is used by other servers). We are all different, so each of us has its own server customised at most.

Availability of the servers:
Everything is available within 1h, except MG servers (we have only 10 right now, the rest are coming next week). Deliveries will begin from 7/8pm.

Don't hesitate to send us your feedback.

Regards,

Octave
