A customer wants to build an "all-in-one" CMS server, i.e. one machine that will run:
- RDMBS
- App server
- web server
- File storage
The CMS is expected to be used for a lot of large files, but will not have a large amount of concurrent users (10 requests per second at most). High availability is not a major concern.
So what would be the best RAID config to support this? I'm thinking that RAID 0 would be best to deal with the large files, probably RAID 1+0 to reduce the chance of outages. Is RAID 5 a viable option? Or perhaps forego RAID completely?
