RAID configuration

One of the most critical decisions that we have to make when deploying a new storage solution is which

RAID type(s) to use as that choice heavily impacts the performance of the application. We have

database log files. Four RAID 1 data disk groups and one RAID 1 log disk group were created. Figure 3

shows the proposed RAID configuration.
