- The best RAID engines in the industry and the only solution to support RAID infinity
- Data centric, not Drive/Device centric (any data, any size, anywhere)
- Supports both Snapshot and Real-Time parity data protection
- Supports creating and expanding a storage pool with volumes/devices containing existing data
- Provides the greatest data safety possible and the lowest risk of data loss (*)
- Provides massive energy saving features (**)
- Multi-platforms support: RAID-F runs on Windows, Linux and WHS

RAID over File System (RAID-F) is a highly scalable and smart storage system that operates over existing file systems and turns independent hard drives of various sizes, makes, and models into one massive parity-protected storage pool. | RAID over File System (RAID-F) is a highly scalable, amazingly flexible, and smart storage system that operates over existing file systems and turns independent hard drives of various sizes, makes, and models into one massive parity-protected storage pool. | ||
Storage pools can in-turn be aggregated into a storage cloud. | Storage pools can in-turn be aggregated into a storage cloud. | ||
RAID-F | RAID-F is primarily focused on Snapshot parity data protection with support for RAID4, RAID6, and RAIDX, where X is any number of tolerances desired. Parity data protection can be configured at the storage pool level and/or at the storage cloud level. | ||
RAID-F also has experimental support for Real-Time data protection, which works well for a limited number of deployment scenarios but needs more work to support additional deployment profiles. | |||
When used for Snapshot RAID, the Snapshot RAID protection can used independently of the Storage Pooling feature and vice versa. | |||
| | ||
Furthermore, RAID-F is not limited to hard disks as it can pool data from all accessible sources including removable media, external storage, network shares, LUNs, disk arrays, etc. | Furthermore, RAID-F is not limited to hard disks as it can pool data from all accessible sources including removable media, external storage, network shares, LUNs, disk arrays, etc. | ||

but i don’t understand.., the disks are striped or no ? are jobs , mirrored, but no striped ?
people need stripe of disks for best perfomance , not big size with the performance of a disk at time,
can do this your software ?
thankss
ahh now have see a beautiful thinks.. : NZFS’s tRAID
this is what we need !!!
