Extreme RAID: How STORM Xtreme Array Delivers True "No Single Point of Failure" Data Availability for Mission-Critical Applications

Overview RAID storage systems have always been regarded as inherently fault tolerant. In fact, most any RAID system available offers some level of redundancy and data availability. For instance, typical RAID systems use parity striping or data mirroring across multiple independent disks to withstand disk failures. They offer multiple, redundant fibre channel connections from the RAID controller to the disks and hosts to survive fibre channel connection or adapter failures. They also provide "Hot-swappable" components within the system to maximize system uptime. As a result, this level of fault tolerance has become the accepted norm.
