Glossary of Terms Raid Array Technology

I found this really good glossary of terms for Raid and Raid Arrays. It is easy to forget the different configurations and what they mean. There are five basic types of array architectures that were originally defined as RAID 1 through RAID 5. Each provides disk fault-tolerance but with different compromises in features and performance. In addition to these five redundant array architectures, it has become popular to refer to a non-redundant array of disk drives as a RAID 0 array.

I found this at Amazon (AWS) Developer. Vembu StoreGrid is an Online Backup Software primarily created for Service Providers. Over 1000 Service Providers currently offer their SMB customers an online backup service - powered by Vembu StoreGrid. With our AmazonS3  Cloud support, you can now start an Online Backup Service with your backup server running on Amazon EC2 and using Amazon EBS/S3 for storage. Maybe a good source for creating a source of income. I found as sevice provider that the licensing structure was a bit difficult to grasp and resale.

Seems a little pricey but definitely a good option for businesses, SMBs as an enterprise backup solution. please continue...
