• Customer Cases

  • I was wondering why my server was running so slow and found out later that the RAID was just degraded !
  • One day, my 'high-availability' cluster crashed, just like any low-cost PC. We just forgot to replace failed disks in the array...
  • I was standing right in front of a business-critical server when it suddenly went off! We understood later that the problem simply came from the second redundant power supply that failed. 
  • Thanks to Hardware Sentry, forget these bad memories!
