Enterprise Hardware RAID and Software RAID
Hardware RAID is data protection and application acceleration technology delivered on PCI Express based
option cards with related firmware, drivers, utilities and management software. Enterprise hardware RAID
cards have onboard capabilities to perform parity generation and RAID recovery operations, as well as
data, memory and bus management. Software RAID, a subset of the features delivered in hardware RAID, is
usually delivered as part of an operating system and relies on system resources, processors, and memory.
