Modify the rack for a dedicated server
Any server ordered will be located in a rack in the server room. Read more in subsection Poole instructions Countries, regions, availability zones and pools.
Ready configuration servers, including Chipcore, are installed in racks in advance. Servers of arbitrary configuration are installed in free rack spaces after ordering. When ordering several servers, our algorithm analyzes technical capabilities at the time of ordering and tries to place the servers in different racks for fault tolerance.
Each rack has three points of failure: Internet port, local port, and power. In extremely rare cases, the availability of the rack can be disrupted. If downtime of the service even for a few minutes is critical, it is recommended to arrange servers in such a way that servers of the same project are located in different racks. This will minimize the risk of service unavailability in case of a rack failure.
You can view the current location of servers and submit a request to move a server to another rack in the control panels: from the top menu, press Products and select Dedicated servers → Servers → tab Arrangement by rack.
