Server Implementation and discretion

Basically as a group we have most of our work thought out and most of the solutions that we are proposing are not subject to change. Our greatest battle is to need for RAID 5 and the inexperience that the team has in integrating a RAID configuration with a server setup. Conducting the analysis and installing the preferred applications and packages is plenty to deal with without considering integrating redundancy.

The educational experience or practical experience is obviously not the only wall that we stand against. The Dell Power Edge servers that we are using currently could have a RAID controller integrated into the motherboard or they could possibly not. This investigation is continuing further and the entire configuration is put on hold due to the ambiguity of knowing what hardware is actually in the servers.

The actual proposed solution will keep in focus as long as the issues are still addressed and the productivity is kept up.
