Usage Examples (click for diagrams)

• OLTP Environment
  You can use a Platinum Hybrid RAID system to speed up the end user experience for your Oracle, Microsoft SQL and other high-demand server applications. You can install it as easily as any other SATA RAID system and immediately see the difference in performance.
• Automated High Speed Backup System
  With the Platinum Hybrid Backup RAID system you can cost-effectively shorten the amount of time needed to perform system wide backups without losing storage capacity. During the initial backup, your data is quickly written to the Platinum HDD array group. During downtime, the data is then migrated to the higher capacity SATA hard drive array group. The Platinum Backup RAID array automatically carries out this optimization process, giving you an easy-to-use, efficient storage system for your backup needs.
• Multi-Host System
  You can accelerate your server operations without replacing your old systems. The Platinum Hybrid RAID system can work alongside other RAID arrays in your network to selectively improve performance for key, high-demand applications.
