Illustration
Why it matters
Dedicated hardware is a strength of physical storage. Hardware can also fail, so a spare is prepared in advance.
Already inside your Vault spare hardware is ready before anything goes wrong, so there is no emergency procurement.
A hardware problem does not become an access problem.
No waiting for replacement equipment, and no change to how you access your Vault.
Your Vault: dedicated physical drives, mirrored with RAID 1
How it works
Five steps. Your access does not wait on the repair.
Step 1 of 5
Your Vault operates normally, and stays physically disconnected outside authorised sessions.
Step 2 of 5
A fault that stops your Vault working correctly is detected, and Vault Spare is designed to trigger automatically.
Step 3 of 5
Access continues without waiting for an engineer or replacement hardware, and normal access controls stay in place.
Step 4 of 5
If requested, engineers attend the Bunker and physically replace the failed hardware.
Step 5 of 5
Failed drives are returned to you, not discarded, so you keep physical ownership of the media.
Vault Spare does not change the offline model. Your Vault is physically disconnected outside authorised sessions.
Principles
The spare takes over without you sourcing or configuring another device.
A physical fault should not unnecessarily interrupt your access.
Firevault engineers can carry out the physical repair, on request.
Failed drives holding your data go back to you, not into a shared pool.
Vault Spare does not change the principle that your Vault is physically disconnected outside authorised sessions.
Why return the failed drive?
Physical ownership should mean keeping control of a drive at the end of its service life, or after a fault, so the media holding your data stays accountable to you.
Where it is included
On Storage and Enterprise, hardware continuity depends on the design. It is not standard on LUV.
