Carried forward from last post, we will overview the remaining levels of RAID in this post.
- RAID-6: This level have similarities of RAID-5 but this comes with extra second parity scheme which is distributed across different drives. The level offers very high fault-tolerance as well as drive-failure tolerance.
- RAID-7: This level of RAID comes with a real-time embedded OS which works as a controller. It also performs caching via high-speed bus as well as provided facility of stand-alone computer.
- RAID-10: After looking at the features one can easily come to know the RAID-10 is nothing but the combination of RAID-0 and RAID-1 as a result this level offers higher performance than RAID-1 but your also should be prepared to pay more amount for that. There are two subtypes can be found in RAID-10. In first one data is organized as stripes across multiple disks and then those striped disk sets are mirrored. In second subtype the data is mirrored and those mirrors are striped.
- RAID-50: (or RAID-5+0): This level is carried with the series of RAID-5 level and striped in RAID-0, this made it possible to achieve improvement in performance without compromising anything with the data security.
- RAID-53: (or RAID-5+3): This level consist of striping for RAID-3 virtual disk blocks with higher performance than the RAID-3 but for a higher cost.
- RAID-S: This level is a substitute proprietary method which consist of of striping parity RAID from EMC Symmetrix which is not in use currently. It appears very similar to RAID-5 but with a little bit performance enhancement achievement. This level is also know for having a high-speed disk cache on the disk array. This level is also called as Parity RAID
So above we reviewed different levels available and can be provided as a RAID features, hence its important for webmasters who are going to select Dedicated Server Hosting for their websites, to analyze their requirements and ask for the suitable RAID lever from their prospective Web Hosting Services provider.
RAID is an important feature of Web Hosting Services which is provided as main feature with Dedicated Server Hosting services. and it comes with various levels, a web hosting client can choose it as per his requirements.
- RAID-0: This RAID technique has striping but lack of data redundancy and that’s why it can only provide the good performance without fault-tolerance.
- RAID-1: This is based on Disk mirroring and includes minimum two drives which duplicates the data stored. Without any striping read performance is improved. It provides best performances for multiple users with fault-tolerance feature.
- RAID-2: Striping exists here across multiple disks with error checking and correcting (ECC) information.
- RAID-3: One drive is used for striping and storing parity information. Error checking and correcting (ECC) information features is used for detection errors. After calculating the exclusive OR (XOR) of data stored on the other driver, data recovery can be achieved. The drawback with RAID-3 is it can not overlap I/O because I/O operations address all drive at the same time. RAID-3 is recommended for single user systems which have long record applications.
- RAID-4: It is targeted towards the large stripes, so that webmasters can read records from any single drive, which provides the benefit of overlapped I/O for reading operations only, for write operations no I/O overlapping advantage because all writing operations need to update the parity drive.
- RAID-5: This level of RAID is based on rotation of parity array. Drawback of no write operation with overlapped I/O in RAID-4 is removed in this level. Unlike RAID-4 both read and write operations can be overlapped with RAID-5. It stores parity information but lacks data redundancy, despite this absence of data redundancy its possible to reconstruct data by using parity information. Minimum three disks are required for array in RAID-5. For the multi-user systems which perform less critical and limited write operations, RAID-5 is recommended.
Still there are many levels of RAID which will be shared in next post.
Colocations services are introduced with the purpose of providing the facility of relocation of all the hardware and networking components to a most reliable place called as Data center. By opting for colocations services webmasters can get rid from the critical arrangements of cooling systems and maintenance of the network required to keep servers in best performing conditions.
Following are few features of colocation services which I would like to shared in this post.
Rack-space
Is your server placed at the the place feels like a store room? such kind of places are always filled with dust and nets, and wiring connections just become a nightmare to handle. After opting for colocation services your servers and other hardware components are placed in specific racks which are specially designed for it’s placements.
Data Center Facilities and Ultimate Cooling Systems
Many of you may know the ‘Data Center, a place build by web hosting services providers, specially for maintaining servers, that the reason why colocation services are also known as Data Center Services. These data center are built keeping the facilities like manageable cooling systems, backup generators, surveillance security systems and other types of physical security.
Higher Scalability And Stability
Webmasters who run their websites on Dedicated Servers are the people for whom colocation services are very beneficial. Internet connection speed is one of the most important factor, so far performance of a web server is concerned. Bandwidth is another important factor which tends to get increased as the days pass and your business grows. A web hosting services providers are professional companies with the super-fast Internet speed attained by using ‘fiber optic cables’ and this enhances the stability and scalability of your colocated web server.
Maintenance Cost Cutting
As its basic industrial concept that any product produced on commercial basis, lowers the production cost for it, similarly maintaining the all infrastructure and cooling system for a single server is very costlier. Colocation services in a Data centers are provided on commercial basis to multiple clients and the cost of infrastructure and cooling systems are shared by all of them which makes it affordable for all.
Note: - For colocation services provided by Host.co.in you just need to pay for bandwidth required, cooling and rent of rack-space your servers occupies.
