Clustering is more expensive than RAID.
RAID 5 & 6 provide high performance and redundancy with low cost.
Is this answer right? I would think it’s RAID
My first attempt is RAID, so I am wrong. I read the question twice, the hint is “in a business environment”, so the answer is Clustering.
@Lake – how do you know you got it wrong? I too think it’s RAID
I think implementing RAID is less expensive than clusters, and the key phrase for me is “less-expensive storage”.
Raided systems are used in a business environment. I am fairly certain that the answer is RAID. Also, I think it would be a mistake to consider clustering to be a storage activity. It is always better to consider that clustering is a shared processing environment. The data is shared but it is hard to figure out where that data is actually stored (could be on any of the clustered servers).
I believe it is clustering. While both RAID and Clustering provides a degree of redundancy, RAID by itself can support a business environment for a small business in which RAID is implemented on one server causing a single impact of failure when the server goes down (and it will), there goes the business. RAID implemented on several clustered servers maintains the speed and redundancy required in a business environment which is the key phrase of this question. My vote is clustering.
I would say it’s RAID as the question mentions “less-expensive
storage”. Clustering is whole servers whilst RAID deals with storage.
