Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a multi-server Provisioning Services solution for CGE. The solution must be highly available and minimize the risk of vDisk inconsistency. How should the arch

RAID 1 (Mirroring) offers fault tolerance but does not provide the same level of performance as RAID 10, especially for the high read and write demands of vDisk streaming from a NAS.

Implementing high-speed local storage with deduplication on a NAS primarily aims at maximizing storage capacity efficiency rather than directly enhancing the fundamental fault tolerance or raw I/O performance of the underlying disk subsystem for vDisk access.

RAID 10 provides the best balance of performance and fault tolerance for storage systems, including NAS devices, by combining data striping for speed with mirroring for redundancy. This ensures vDisk data is highly available and can be accessed quickly by Provisioning Services servers.
