Assume you are planning Web server computer capacity for a business that has 5000 business customers and sells about 1200 different products. Each customer buys between 10 and 50 items two or three times each month. The business has 300 employees, 200 of whom regularly interact with the company’s online sales system

As you learn more about disk storage options for the Web server, you learn that many companies selling Web servers offer a configuration option for controlling those computers’ disk drives called RAID. Using the Web and your library, investigate the purpose of RAID controllers. Learn what these controllers do and how they do it. Form an opinion regarding the suitability of these controllers in the Web server you are planning. Summarize your findings in a 300-word briefing report suitable for presentation to a nontechnical manager.


Redundant Array of Independent Disks is a disk subsystem that increases performance or provides fault tolerance or both. RAID uses two or more regular hard drives and a RAID controller, which is plugged into motherboards that do not have RAID circuits. Today, most motherboards have built-in RAID but not necessarily every RAID configuration. In the past, RAID has also been accomplished by software only but was much slower.
