You need to be able to improve the I/O performance for your storage solution and to make the best use of the storage resources you have available. Your system must perform well for the number of users and amount and type of data served. As the number of users increases, the amount of storage space and the performance demands also increase.

Enhanced I/O performance: The ability to improve the I/O performance as experienced by your customers and users. |
OES supports software RAIDs, which allows multiple disk I/O access. For NetWare, NSS supports RAIDs 0, 1, and 5. For Linux, NSS supports RAIDs 0 and 1. For information, see Novell Cluster Services provides I/O access to data via multiple servers. For information, see the OES Novell Cluster Services 1.8.1 Administration Guide for NetWare. |

Optimized storage capability: The ability to grow, reorganize, reallocate, and restrict use of storage space, as needed, with minimal service interruption. |
You can dynamically expand an existing NSS pool up to its 8 TB maximum by simply adding space to it. NSS volumes support volume, directory, and user quotas to govern space use. |
