Does anyone know if gandi uses ECC in their servers? This is possibly my biggest problem with the VPS fad, nobody will give you a straight answer about whether or not you can actually rely on them to not silently corrupt data.

A few providers seem to use ECC. I know prgmr.com does, although they're not very good at advertising it: http://prgmr.com/xen/ http://prgmr.com/xen/

As a general principle, just treat no answer as no. Companies that use ECC advertise it. You can also look in /proc/cpuinfo to see if it's a Xeon/Opteron or not.

I know for sure that Gandi use ECC in their servers.

  Do you work there or know someone who does? If so, can you get them to make that explicit in their documentation?

    Yes I work there. You can easily verify it.

      Can you get them to make that explicit in their documentation? I can't get the higher ups to approve it without something official.
