Each Dynamic Dedicated Server and the Virtual Dedicated Server(s) thereon receive up to 5,000 GB of [Traffic] per month by default. [Traffic] is the amount of "Bandwidth" or "Data Transfer" used by the server to: upload and download files; send and receive e-mails; visitors and users of your hosted Website(s) and Web Application(s); etc... However, ViUX measures [Traffic] usage ONLY against downloads / outgoing bandwidth, with uploads / incoming data being UNLIMITED. Additional download [Traffic] can be purchased during your order, or later within the control panel for an additional fee of $50 per month for each 1,000 GB.

Each Dynamic Dedicated Server has a default of 4 to 16+ GB of [Memory], depending on the number and type of CPU's selected. This [Memory] can then be allocated as desired to the Virtual Dedicated Server(s) running thereon. If still more [Memory] is needed, you can upgrade to even higher levels during your order, or later within the control panel for an additional fee of $15 per month for each 1 GB. For best performance, you should set the [Memory] at a level to cover your average / likely usage. [Memory] is the primary determining factor of overall server performance, even more important than [CPU]... more [Memory] equals better performance.

Each Processor (CPU) comes with Quad (4), Hex (6), Octo (8), or Deca (10) CPU Cores, for a minimum of 4, and a maximum of 40 CPU Cores per Dynamic Dedicated Server. You are able to allocate CPU resources to the Virtual Dedicated Server(s) running thereon as either a percentage / ratio or by specific number of CPU Cores.

Each Dynamic Dedicated Server can have a Single (1), Dual (2), or Quad (4) Processors (CPU's), each with multiple CPU Cores. More CPU's and resulting CPU Cores means more processing power and thereby better overall server performance.

ViUX deploys each Dynamic Dedicated Server as a physical Dedicated Server running Parallels Virtuozzo Containers with 1 (or more) Virtual Dedicated Server(s) running thereon... which is what makes our Dedicated Servers "Dynamic". This gives you the power, stability, and reliability of a Dedicated Server, with the flexibility, scalability, and benefits of a Virtual Server. You can allocate the resources of the physical Dedicated Server to the Virtual Dedicated Server(s) however you wish and you can make changes at any time.

By default each Dynamic Dedicated Server comes with a Single (1) 500 GB SATA II Disk Drive. Of this, 200 GB goes to the installation of the OS (Linux or Windows), Swap Memory / Dump, Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, and the basic Application Templates. The remaining approximately 300 GB is allocated to the Virtual Dedicated Server(s) running thereon. If you need more Disk Space and/or for better performance, we highly recommend RAID-5 or RAID-10, which require 3 or 4 Disk Drives of the same type and size, respectively. You are able to select from multiple Disk Drive types and sizes, including: SATA II, SATA Raptor, SCSI 10K, SCSI 15K, and Solid-State Drives (SSD). Each Disk Drive type offers various sizes with progressively higher speeds. Best server performance is obtained by selecting faster drives within a RAID-10 Array. [Disk] speed is only superseded by [Memory] and [CPU] as primary factors in overall server performance, and can often be more important than [CPU], especially in low [Memory] conditions.

A Dynamic Dedicated Server with 1 (or more) Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS), running 64-Bit versions of either: Linux CentOS 6.x; or Windows 2008 R2/SP1 Enterprise - with a Single (1) Processor (CPU) having 4 (or more) CPU Cores, and at least: 4 GB of Memory; a 500 GB SATA II Disk Drive; and 5,000 GB of Traffic.

A Dynamic Dedicated Server with 1 (or more) Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS), running 64-Bit versions of either: Linux CentOS 6.x; or Windows 2008 R2/SP1 Enterprise - with Dual (2) Processors (CPU's) having 8 (or more) CPU Cores, and at least: 4 GB of Memory; a 500 GB SATA II Disk Drive; and 5,000 GB of Traffic.

A Dynamic Dedicated Server with 1 (or more) Virtual Dedicated Servers (VDS), running 64-Bit versions of either: Linux CentOS 6.x; or Windows 2008 R2/SP1 Enterprise - with Quad (4) Processors (CPU's) having 16 (or more) CPU Cores, and at least: 16 GB of Memory; a 500 GB SATA II Disk Drive; and 5,000 GB of Traffic.

RAID 1 (Mirroring): Requires 2 [Disk Drives] of equal type and size where data is "mirrored" onto both drives resulting in identical data for improved data security. This provides basic fault-tolerance and good performance. [RAID-1] is highly recommended over a single non-RAID drive for data security.

RAID 0 - (Striping): Requires 2 to 6 [Disk Drives] of equal type and size where data is "striped" across all drives included in the array to make one large disk volume. This has NO fault-tolerance, as a failure of ANY single drive within the array results in a loss of ALL data on ALL drives. [RAID-0] is recommended ONLY for scenarios needing large amounts of storage with good performance where data can be easily re-created in the event of loss.

RAID 5 - (Striping with Parity): Requires 3 to 6 [Disk Drives] of equal type and size where data is "striped" across all drives included in the array with distributed parity on all drives.This has good fault-tolerance, as a failure of any single drive within the array does NOT result in any data loss; however performance is greatly affected until the failed drive is replaced and the array is rebuilt. Failure of a second drive results in a loss of ALL data. [RAID-5] is recommended for scenarios where storage capacity is more important than performance, but some fault-tolerance is desired.

RAID 10 - (Mirroring and Striping): Requires 4 or 6 [Disk Drives] of equal type and size where data is both "striped" and "mirrored" across all drives included in the array.This has great fault-tolerance and best performance, but at the cost of a loss of 1/2 of the total capacity. [RAID-10] can handle multiple drive failures without data loss with no loss of performance during array rebuilds; and is recommended for scenarios where storage capacity is less important than performance and fault-tolerance.

non-RAID: 1 to 6 [Disk Drives] of any desired mix of type(s) and size(s) where each drive is completely independent of the others. [non-RAID] offers NO fault-tolerance and NO improved performance, but it does allow maximum flexibility of disk configuration for special use.
