Keep your Internet connectivity even if your server's
hard disk fails*
Net Integration's operating system (OS), Nitix,
is tiny - about 50 to 100 times smaller than the OSs used in other products
with similar features. Because Nitix is so small, we can store the operating
system and configuration files - in fact, two
copies of them - on a non-volatile solid-state disk*. This disk has
no moving parts, so it is very unlikely to fail. The only files stored
on the normal hard disk are user files, and these files can all be safely
backed up to protect against hardware failure.
Incredibly, during
a hard disk failure, a Nitix-powered server continues
to run as a LAN-to-Internet and firewall device without
any service interruption. To recover the rest of the
system, simply insert a new, blank hard drive and restore
your files.
*Note: only servers
using the Nitix-on-a-chip medium will have this solid-state
feature.
