Almost every modern storage system supports multiple RAID levels. Each RAID level has advantages and disadvantages when considering price, performance, and reliability. Intransa has selected to support RAID-0, RAID-1 and RAID-10 in its flagship IP5000 Storage System. The IP5000 provides the best performance and reliability compared with competing RAID-5 arrays, while offering a cost/MB that is less than competing systems regardless of RAID levels. This white paper demonstrates both qualitatively and quantitatively how Intransa's IP5000 storage system is superior to competing RAID-5 arrays for each of these metrics.
