So what does company with database access needs and 25 users do to keep as much up time as possible?
The blog seems to be splitting hairs, instead of hardware RAID on one machine, google seems to be employing hardware RAID across multiple machines. Just because they aren't using specifically expensive hardware RAID controllers, the writer admits google still uses software RAID. How best to keep not only your data backed up, but also keep maximum uptime. Why isn't the answer a server box using RAID? Perhaps none of us have been specific enough. In my posts I never meant *just* hardware or *just* software RAID, I suggested a RAID solution that could be either. So to the list members who seem against RAID, what do you use for my example at the start of my msg?
