The first how-to guide for online storage management with Windows 2000 In this book, expert Paul Massiglia first provides a clear tutorial on the principles of managed online storage and then walks you through the basics of how to manage your disks and RAID arrays in the Windows 2000 server environment. He provides all the information system administrators need to take advantage of Windows 2000's powerful new capabilities for handling large numbers of disks and RAID subsystems. Using both the embedded capabilities of the Windows 2000 operating system, VERITAS Volume Manager--the de-facto standard for application storage--and other working examples, Massiglia clearly illustrates how to organize disks so that all application data can be given the right balance of availability, I/O performance, and online storage cost. Readers will learn about online storage architectures, failure and non-failure tolerant volumes, RAID, online disks, and creating and managing volumes.

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology is a family of techniques for combining multiple disks under common firmware or software management to provide beneficial data availability and performance effects. Arrays of disks that use RAID data protection techniques can sustain disk failures without losing their ability to read and write data for applications. Similarly, disk arrays that use RAID data mapping techniques can often provide substantial performance gains to applications by distributing I/O load evenly across disks with no system management or application effort. In the eight years since its introduction, RAID technology has taken the information technology user community by storm. In 1996, IDC estimated that 70% of all disk systems sold were RAID-capable, and predicted near-ubiquity for the technology by 1999. More recent estimates set RAID-configured new disk arrays at 80% of all arrays. The RAIDbook, currently in its sixth edition, describes RAID technology in detail, and positions it in the context of commercial computer system disk storage. As RAID technology has evolved, The RAIDbook has evolved along with it. The 6th Edition, extensively revised to reflect recent developments, contains a contemporary description of RAID technology, and now includes other architectural constructs that make up modern failure-tolerant disk systems. This book is a must for IT managers, application designers, and others who must make decisions about high-performance robust disk systems.
