What does RAID provide?
RAID offers different ways of achieving greater control over levels of reliabiliy, capacity, performance and cost. There are a number of different methods of configuring a system, commonly known as RAID levels. RAID levels 0, 1, 3, and 5 are by far the most common. A Sunrise solution can utilise any one or a combination of these RAID levels, ensuring that even the most individual requirements can be met. Each RAID level has different characteristics, benefits and disadvantages. The level number does not directly reflect the level of performance, capacity or redundancy, and are purely used for identification. The appropriate RAID level for any installation depends entirely upon the individual application and business needs.
