EDAP:
Extended Data Availability & Protection
The
RAID
Advisory Board (RAB) sets out the specifications for EDAP as
follows:
"A
storage system with EDAP capability can protect its data and provide
on-line, immediate access to its data, despite failure occurrence
within the storage system, within attached units or within its environment.
The location, type and quantity of failure occurrences determine
the degree of EDAP capability attributed to the storage system,
with RAID capability being the lowest level of EDAP capability."
The
objectives
of RAID and EDAP are to offer data redundancy, regeneration, and
reconstruction of data after hardware failure.
