What is the main purpose of deploying RAID with FortiAnalyzer?

Question

Options

• ATo provide redundancy of your log data
• BTo store data in chunks across multiple drives
• CTo make an identical copy of log data on two separate physical drives
• DTo back up your logs

• A
  87% (40)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  7% (3)

Explanation

RAID on FortiAnalyzer is deployed primarily to ensure redundancy of log data (A) - if a drive fails, the system continues operating without data loss, which is critical for security logging and compliance. Option B (striping data across drives) describes RAID 0, which actually increases risk with no redundancy and is not the goal here. Option C describes RAID 1 (mirroring), which is one method FortiAnalyzer may use, but mirroring is a means to the end, not the purpose itself - redundancy is the purpose. Option D (backup) is incorrect because RAID is not a backup strategy; it protects against drive failure but not against accidental deletion, corruption, or disaster recovery scenarios.

Memory tip: Think "RAID = Reliability Always In Drives" - the point is always about keeping your data available and protected, not about performance or backups.
