Last week we announced a tasty increase in bandwidth allocations for all Brightbox virtual machine products. Today, we’re just as pleased to announce that we’re also doubling the SAN storage allocation of all Brightbox products…

• Brightbox 256 - was 5GB now 10GB!
• Brightbox 512 - was 10GB now 20GB!
• Brightbox 1GB - was 15GB now 30GB!
• Brightbox 2GB - was 20GB now 40GB!

Check out the updated product matrix for full specs.

Don’t forget, our storage isn’t just any old storage! Brightboxes are spread across multiple SANs, each of which have 14 disks in RAID10 (with hot spares of course :)

Also, our storage network is independent of the Xen host servers so should a problem occur with a Xen host, we can migrate customers to another node almost instantly.

The new storage allocations are available immediately on all new Brightboxes. Existing customers simply need to submit a request via the Helpdesk and we’ll schedule the storage increase (a short amount of downtime will be required to pick up the new storage allocation).
