Redundancy Strategies in SAN Storage Environments
In today's fast-paced and technologically driven world, storage environments have become increasingly complex and highly susceptible to hardware failures, power outages, network disruptions, and natural disasters. A single point of failure in any of these scenarios can result in major data loss and business disruption. This is why redundancy strategies in SAN storage environments have become a crucial element for ensuring data availability, continuity, and protection. In this blog post, we will delve into the various redundancy strategies available in SAN storage environments and their benefits. RAID Levels RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) is a standard redundancy strategy used in storage environments to enhance data protection, availability, and performance. In RAID, data is distributed across multiple disks and mirrored or striped in various configurations, known as RAID levels. There are several RAID levels available, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, ...
