Erp 6-7
• Types of RAID:
A. RAID 0 – Disk Stripping
➢ allows you to combine multiple hard drives of the same size into a big disk.
➢ It combines multiple hard drives into one logical hard drive, increasing
storage capacity.
➢ Data is written to all the drives sequentially, which improves read and write
speeds.
➢ The drawback is that if one hard drive in the array fails, all data on the RAID
0 is lost.
➢ It provides no redundancy.

D. RAID 6 – Striping with Double Parity
➢ Same as RAID 5 but with 2 redundancy
G. RAID 61 -

Advantages Disadvantages
RAID
▪ Great performance in both read ▪ Not fault-tolerant; if one drive fails,
and write operations. all data in the RAID 0 array is lost.
▪ No overhead caused by parity ▪ Not suitable for mission-critical
RAID 0 controls. systems.
▪ All storage capacity is used.
▪ Easy to implement.

INCREMENTAL vs DIFFERENTIAL BACKUP
• Backup Types
→ Fault tolerance – is the prevention of data loss if a component fails.
➢ Virtual Machine; RAID System
→ Disaster recovery – is the process of rebuilding an organization's data after a
disaster has happened, such as data loss.
➢ Disaster – can be manmade or natural (fortuitous)
3. Differential – faster than a full backup but it's not as fast as an incremental
backup.
➢ the data that is backed up is that data that has been changed since the last
full backup.
➢ Only need the last full backup and the last differential backup to completely
restore your data.

Backup
BACKUP TYPE Description Restore Speed
Speed
1. Full ✓ Backs up all data
Slow Fast
✓ Simplest to perform
2. Incremental ✓ Backs up data changed Slow
since last full or Fast (must restore full
incremental backup. and incremental)
3. Differential Moderate
✓ Backs up data changed
Moderate (requires full and last
since the last full backup.

NAS vs SAN
• SAN (Storage Area Network) – a special high-speed network that stores and
provides access to large amounts of data.
→ Fault Tolerant
→ Data is also shared among several disk arrays.
→ Servers accesses the data as if it was a local hard drive.
→ Highly Scalable
→ Highspeed Network
→ Interconnected using Fiber Channel – Fiber Optics
➢ Speeds between 2 Gbits/s – 128 Gbits/s
➢ Expensive
→ Some SANs use iSCSI instead Which is a cheaper alternative to fiber channel,
but it's also not as fast as fiber channel.
9|ERP 6-7
→ Not affected by network traffic such as bottlenecks that can happen in a local
area network.
→ A network all by itself
→ Very redundant
→ Very expensive
→ Mainly used by large companies and large organizations.
SAN – dedicated network that's used for data storage and this network consists of
multiple disk arrays, switches, and servers.
IT Governance – sets the tone; standard; control; and service value delivery.
