Why Phoenix RAID Recovery Services
Will Check Both The RAID And The Controller?
If you are
having, your database or application or solution configured inside a server
hardware or NAS/SAN (Network Attached Storage/Storage Area Network) that is
configured with any type of RAID, know that the unexpected can happen at any
time. You will need to consult Phoenix RAID recovery Services Company when you
notice that your hardware has failed or operating in a degraded mode. You
should not immediately try to initiate rebuilding process of the RAID even if
you are an experienced system engineer.
The RAID
(Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) configurations are of different types
with each one providing one form of fault tolerances or the other. Fault
tolerance means a situation whereby a set of hard drives that form an array has
one or more of its hard drives get fault or fail and yet, the system is working
as if there is nothing that has happened. According to the data recovery
services in Phoenix, the fault tolerance of a RAID is the number of hard drives
on the RAID array that need to be offline or faulty before the RAID stops
working or operational.
Since RAID is a
combination of mostly hardware and little quantity of software (or firmware),
it is susceptible to fail. The hard drives that form the RAID array may be
faulty which can render the whole array of the hard drives to be of no use. In
this situation, it is the fault tolerance of the RAID that will prevent the
whole array from stopping to function. The RAID will still continue to work
once the exact or less than the number of hard drives (fault tolerance) fail.
It will only corrupt the data inside when the number of failed hard drives
exceed the fault tolerance of the RAID, so said the data recovery Phoenix AZ.
Where just one
hard drive has failed, the RAID 5, 6 and 10 will still continue to be
operational. And the moment the faulty hard drive is replaced with a good one,
the RAID will parse together and uses the information and data in those hard
drives that have been working to build the new one. The Phoenix RAID recovery
services has assured that after the parsing or building process, all the hard
drives will have had all data that they initially had before the faulty hard
drive failed.
You need to know
that RAID 5 is able to maintain and repair just only one hard drive out of the
array at a particular time while RAID 6 and 10 are capable of maintaining the
data in the array even when more than one hard drives have failed.
The Phoenix RAID
recovery services company has made it known that it is not only the hard drives
that can fail in a RAID configuration. The controller cards can also become
faulty. These are what connect the array of hard drives to the motherboard of
the server hardware.
