LAND-5 Introduces Revolutionary RAID Technology.[RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) A disk subsystem that is used to increase performance or provide fault tolerance or both. RAID uses two or more ordinary hard disks and a RAID disk controller. In the past, RAID has also been implemented via software only. .sup.n] provides ordable protection against multiple disk drivil failures LAND-5 Corp's [RAID.sup.n] effectively protects storage arrays from the consequences of random multiple disk drive failures. Available for licensing now, it ensures that mission-critical databases can continue to function regardless of any number of disk drives becoming inoperable inoperable /in·op·er·a·ble/ (in-op´er-ah-b'l) not susceptible to treatment by surgery. in·op·er·a·ble adj. Unsuitable for a surgical procedure. . This technology allows system administrators to select the level of "insurance" desired against the failure of one or more disk drives in a RAID array, all the way up to N-1 drives (where "N" indicates the total number of drives in the array). Both "read" and "write" performance for [RAID.sup.n] are on a par with conventional RAID 5 implementations and faster than typical compound RAID 1+5 or RAID 5+5 configurations. Using the same number of disk drives, [RAID.sup.n] provides about twice the data capacity of a RAID 1+5 solution. Both hardware and software implementations are envisioned for this technology which already offers benefits to any application requiring data integrity, such as telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance. See communications. and consumer electronic pr oducts. Initially available in Linux Linux Nonproprietary operating system (OS) for digital computers. In 1991 Linus Torvalds of Finland began asking for volunteer programmers over the Internet to collaborate on the development of a UNIX-like OS for personal computers; the “1. , it can also be easily implemented in other operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. and at the hardware level. |
