ABSTRACT:
Some call RAID a “zombie” technology – though it has been declared dead, the truth is that it remains a viable, effective data center solution and is, in practice, still very much alive. In fact, RAID has been around for such a long time that vendors have now adopted it to serve almost any need, from enhancing application availability to increasing server performance to, in some cases, doing both.

Yet, despite RAID’s growing popularity in modern storage, issues like rebuild times, write caches, controller issues and even the drives themselves can present hurdles for storage administrators. In this expert webcast, Greg Schulz reviews the most important RAID array challenges. Download this podcast to gain constructive advice that can help improve reliability and minimize storage disruptions.
