Rental Server Customisation |
|
|
Rent IT design and build non raid and raid servers for rental in house which enables ultimate flexibilty for non standard requirements. Our engineers can tailor our standard business rental servers if required, to your specification of Raid storage, Ram , processors , backup tape drives , and operating systems. |

 |
Hard drives |
|
|
|
|
Protected hard drive storage is one of the main functions for raid server rentals. Raid 1 or 5 provides protection against a single disk failure. Data is not lost and the server can continue operations although at a reduced hard drive performance until the raid rebuilds. A hot swap spare is normally recomended with the raid server rental as the raid controller will automatically place the hot swap drive online and rebuild the raid array. |
|
|
Our 2u rackmounts SAS servers can have up to 4 x 3.5" SAS 15K drives installed as Raid 1, all raid 5 or raid 5 with hot swap. The Raid 1 set up can have a third hard drive installed and set up as a hot swap. The Raid 5 setup can have all 4 drives included in the raid array or configured as 3 drives + 1 hot swap. |
|
|
Our 2u rackmount SATA servers are usually set up with 2 Sata hard drives configured as Raid 1. A third Sata hard drive can be installed as a hot swap |
|
|
Our Tower / 5u rackmount business rental servers can have up to 2 x 5 bay SCSI hard drives installed normally as configured as Raid 5 with 1 hot swap. Alternatively as a cheaper option the rental tower servers can have SATA hard drives up to 1TB configured as Raid 1. |

Memory |
|
|
|
|
Memory can have a large impact on performance, especially if servers run short of physical memory. Multicore processors can also require more memory than the older single core Xeons. Windows Server 2003 , Windows Server 2008 standard 32 bit and Windows 2003 Small Business Server are usually limited to accessing 4GB of memory. Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 standard x64 64 bit can utilise up to 32GB RAM.
|
|
|
The Rent IT 2u rackmount SAS rental server has as standard 8GB ram installed, ideal for Windows 2003 server rental either as standard 32 bit, Small Business Server as well as Windows 2008 standard
|
|

 |
Processors |
|
|
|
|
Rent IT has always utilised Intel processors from the humble P 1 in the early years through to the current quad core 5000 series xeon processors today. The 5000 series processor provides the rental servers with a blend of high performace but lower power (lower heat dissapation). The rental servers utilise 2 models of standard processors are the 5410 dual core xeon and the 5440 quad core xeon, although higher performace processors can be installed but not from stock. |
