One of the first bottlenecks to be hit in an environment hosting database intensive applications is the throughput from the hard disks. To resolve this problem only Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 15,000 RPM Cheetah hard disks from Seagate are used to host the web sites. The maximum throughput level on the servers is never reached. Combined with the RAID10 protection you receive the ultimate storage platform in terms of performance and redundancy.
