This S-Drive is going to be popular based on CC clients who want websites and hosting that is simple. I'd like to know the hardware specs, data center specs, and what network carriers that will be used to provide this support.
We will have more info about this at some point. For now, the summary is that S-Drive is running on enterprise class hardware in a Tier 1 datacenter, fully staffed and monitored 24/7. Our datacenter also hosts a significant portion of some of the most popular sites on the web, so we're pretty confident S-Drive is in good hands.

Yep, the entire system is monitored 24/7 both by people and by automated systems that perform regular health checks on each server and network device in the cluster.

Actually, no. We didn't say that. S-Drive will always run solely on our hardware. It's too complicated to support on any other hardware system.
