Reliability, availability, and serviceability features
Three of the most important considerations in server design are reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that is stored on your server, the availability of the server when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and repair problems.
The following is an abbreviated list of the RAS features that your server supports:
•Automatic restart after a power failure
•Customer support center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week1
