Minimally, choosing the best disk carving strategy includes the following policies: • Analyze current corporate and departmental structure. • Analyze the current file server structure and environment. • Plan properly to ensure the best configuration and use of storage. • Determine the desired priority of fault tolerance, performance, and storage capacity. • Use the determined priority of system characteristics to determine the optimal striping policy and RAID level. 52 Storage management overview
