Hardware RAID Vs. Software RAID: Which Implementation Is Best for My Application?

Overview In the last couple of years, RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology has grown from a server option to a data protection requirement. The first implementations of RAID in 1990 were very expensive controller boards with high-performance I/O processors that were as powerful as the host CPU. At that time, when hardware-based RAID solutions were the only option, the cost of a RAID controller limited the usage to high-priced servers. Off late RAID is found everywhere - from an operating system software feature to a stand-alone controller providing advanced data integrity in high-end storage area networks.

Intel delays new P4 due to 'anomalies'

But one of its most popular features is likely to be an option that allows PC makers to add a technology called RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks). RAID allows two hard drives to pool their storage capacity, turning, say, a pair of 120GB...

IBM pushes Power besides Itanium

In addition "the Power architecture allows you to perform more work with half the processors" which saves on software licensing costs and increases reliability, IBM's Sanchez said on the conference call.

HP targets SMEs with storage

The MSA500, which offers the same data storage capacity as the MSA30, promises faster performance, thanks to an onboard RAID (redundant array of independent disks) controller, and the ability to work with up to two servers.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
