There was no loss of data (nor has there ever been) and the faulty part was promptly replaced from our spares inventory. To put this in perspective, we have 6 such SAN devices in production right now and many Brightbox customers build apps to tolerate failure of any particular device (however rare) using our load balancing service etc. Alternatively, we can build highly available clusters for customers and provide full management.</div><div><br></div><div>We don't provide an SLA at the moment but are working on it (most SLAs are pretty pointless if you've ever read them).</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Jeremy</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; "><div>--</div><div>Brightbox </div><div>[serious rails hosting]<br><a href="http://brightbox.co.uk">http://brightbox.co.uk</a><br>--</div></span></div><div><br></div><div><div>On 1 Oct 2009, at 10:44, Paul Bowsher wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">We're looking at moving away from Brightbox as they are fairly unreliable.
