RAID 6 With HP Advanced Data Guarding Technology: A Cost-Effective, Fault-Tolerant Solution

Overview RAID 6 with HP's patented Advanced Data Guarding (ADG) technology is a cost-effective solution for storing large volumes of enterprise data with fault tolerance. Its performance, like that of other RAID levels, depends on the nature of the application. Organizations implementing a large drive array should consider RAID 6 because it can tolerate up to two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss. By differentiating among the available RAID schemes, this paper provides information to help IT managers select the RAID scheme that will best meet all the needs of their specific computing environment.
