Reliability, Availability, And Serviceability
In today's mission critical computing environments, service level agreements (SLAs) commit IT organizations to measurable service metrics such as application performance, end-user response time and system availability. Storage plays a vital role in an IT organization's ability to deliver IT services because it directly impacts the performance, availability and functionality of most applications. In fact the ability to consolidate storage with the latest technology has increased the costs of any storage system failure dramatically.
A storage solution must therefore include robust architectural design that withstands potential failures without impacting data availability. It is critical that even in the face of component failures, such as disk drive or power supply, storage systems be able to deliver high levels of performance and availability without compromise. A robust storage solution must have reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features inherent to its architectural design.
This white paper provides an overview of the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features built into the architecture of the iQ2880 storage system.
