Technology ensures that all data is duplicated on pairs of disks simultaneously, giving additional redundancy.

Hosting ZOOM, a provider of web hosting services, today announced that it has deployed RAID 1 disk configurations on all its new servers to ensure data integrity.

The company says that RAID 1 is a particular type of RAID technology which ensures that all data is duplicated on pairs of disks simultaneously. This ensures that in the event of a hard drive failure, the server can switch to the other disk with no interruption in service. Also, if multiple requests for the same data are made, demand can be distributed between two disk copies therefore decreasing response time for data access.

"Highly available, performance oriented and reliable servers have become a necessity for any online business. RAID provides our clients with complete redundancy and the ability to recover from the inevitable hard drive failure without any downtime," said Kiet Duong, President of Hosting ZOOM.
