Raid Server

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a backup server that uses multiple disk drives to improve performance and provide redundancy. It splits and replicates data across several disks. There are 5 main RAID levels - RAID 0 provides no redundancy by striping data, RAID 1 mirrors data exactly on two disks, and RAID 5 distributes parity across disks for redundancy with good performance. The goals of RAID are to improve disk performance and provide data redundancy to protect against disk failure or data loss.

RAID SERVER:

The RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. The main goals of using redundant arrays of inexpensive disks (RAID) are to improve disk data performance and provide data redundancy. RAID can be handled either by the operating system software or it may be implemented via a purpose built RAID disk controller card without having to configure the operating system at all.to implement RAID a minimum of two hard disk are required.there are overall 5 RAID levels starting from RAID 0-A RAID 0 (also known as a stripe set or striped volume) splits data evenly across two or more disks (striped) with no parity information for redundancy. RAID 0 was not one of the original RAID levels and provides no data redundancy.RAID 1-A RAID 1 creates an exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on two or more disks. This is useful when read performance or reliability is more important than data storage capacity.RAID 2-A RAID 2 stripes data at the bit (rather than block) level, and uses Hamming code for error correction.RAID 3-A RAID 3 uses byte-level striping with a dedicated parity disk. RAID 3 is very rare in practice. One of the characteristics of RAID 3 is that it generally cannot service multiple requests simultaneously.RAID 4-A RAID 4 uses block-level striping with a dedicated parity disk. This allows each member of the set to act independently when only a single block is requested.RAID 5-A RAID 5 uses block-level striping with parity data distributed across all member disks. RAID 5 has achieved popularity because of its low cost of redundancy.RAID 6-RAID 6 extends RAID 5 by adding an additional parity block; thus it uses block-level striping with two parity blocks distributed across all member disks.RAID is basically a backup server so in case of Power Loss and Ensuing Data Corruption, Accidental or Intentional Erasure, Bad Blocks on Disk Drive RAID is used.
