Storage Hardware

There are many different devices on which data can be stored. The selection of devices to best meet your storage needs depends primarily on three factors:

• Performance

• Availability

• Cost

You can use Solaris Volume Manager to help manage the trade-offs in performance, availability, and cost. You can often mitigate many of the trade-offs with Solaris Volume Manager.

Solaris Volume Manager works well with any supported storage on any system that runs the Solaris operating system.
