VERITAS Volume Manager for Windows Software vs. Hardware RAID Performance

Tags:
raid

Overview This paper summarizes the performance study comparing VERITAS Volume Manager for Windows 2000 to hardware RAID 0 and RAID 5, based on: Light to moderately stressed systems, software RAID 5 performance is comparable to the high-end hardware RAID card and is significantly better than the midrange hardware RAID card. Software RAID 0 performance is comparable to the high-end hardware RAID 0 and is 10 percent better than the midrange hardware RAID card. Potentially, using VERITAS Volume Manager for Windows 2000 software in configuring RAID will offer comparable or better performance without the extra hardware cost. Volume Manager provides domainwide online storage management, capacity monitoring and storage load balancing from a single Windows 2000 console.
