No Single Point Of Failure Protection Without Complete Duplication Of Storage Resources

Today’s crop of storage devices have gone a long way to protect data by using different RAID levels. To date, all No Single Point Of Failure (NSPOF) configurations require 100% duplication of actual disk storage. RAID10, and RAID51 or RAID61 require doubling the number of drives to achieve NSPOF, and most manufacturers don’t support RAID51 or RAID61.

Problem – if other applications do not require the same level of protection, the only option is to buy more storage and protect it. Some vendors do not even offer this as an option. NavigateStorage and Stonefly bring you a soluition. This brief will review standard NSPOF options vs. StoneFly’s RAIDML, which offers the ability to create NSPOF volumes and purely RAID5 or 6 protected volumes, in a single storage unit or across multiple storage units.

NavigateStorage is pleased to bring you a solution with our Stonefly products. Let us tell you more. Call 1-978-318-9000 or write.
