Raid that functions as part of the operating system on the file server
A.
Software implementation
B.
Hardware implementation
C.
Network implementation
D.
Netware implementation
Explanation:
This kind of RAID is totally depended on the operating system, this is because the server does not
have any special hardware – RAID controller in the board. This kind of RAID implementation usually
degrades performance because it takes many CPU cycles. A very common example of software RAID
is the support for it on Windows 2000 Server, where you can create RAID 0,1 and 5 through
heterogeneous disks, you can even make a RAID between one SCSI and one EIDE disk. The software
implementation is hardware independent always that the disks are recognized by the Operating
System.
