Reliability


The reliability is provided by 4 concepts :
  1. The power supply can be share between several boxes so that if one power supply fails, the box doesn't go down.
  2. A battery can be included to avoid using huge, heavy and expensive UPS. Of course, batteries will be shared between boxes to maximize uptime.
  3. A CompactFlash memory card will replace a hard disk. No more mechanics, this one isn't sensible to shocks.
  4. The filesystems will be mounted read-only whenever possible. This way, in the case of a system crash, risks of loosing data are fairly reduced, and system comes up faster.
