Software RAID under Windows similar to software from HUAWEI?

Question

Huawei

Good afternoon.
I once read about the latest HUAWEI solutions for the server market, and instead of the usual RAID 2, their servers use their own "RAID 2.0+" algorithm, which splits the array into blocks not physically, but virtually. In this case, the system "spreads" all the blocks of one disk over all evenly, and not on the neighboring disk. This technology, according to the developers, allows you to rebuild the array much faster and much less resource-intensive, because. all disks participate in rebuild at the same time.

... this is Huawei's patented technology, it is used only on their expensive servers and there is no separate software.
That's actually the question - is there software with similar abilities from other developers, which can be obtained separately without purchasing a server? And what is this software?

Answer 1

RAID 2 uses its own "RAID 2.0+" algorithm, which partitions the array into blocks not physically, but virtually.

Well, let's start with the fact that RAID 2.0 is the use of the Hamming code - redundant coding that includes validation and recovery data.
In terms of performance and logic, it is not much different from RAID 5 and 6. The difference between them is only in spreading data across disks in an array, by and large, and the problems and advantages are the same.
Advantages - obtaining fault tolerance with the loss of a minimum volume. If we stupidly mirror, we lose 50% of the volume, and in 2, 5, 6 we lose a smaller part.
Disadvantages - need high computing power for implementation.
Or we do all the calculations in hardware - it turns out pretty quickly, but the price tag of the controllers is not encouraging.
If we do all the calculations programmatically - everything is bad here, or wild brakes for recording, or wild processor load, choose what you like best.

This technology, according to the developers, allows you to rebuild the array much faster and much less resource-intensive, because. all disks participate in rebuild at the same time.

And the rationale? In any case, all disks of the array participate in the rebuild at the same time. On any raid. This is actually the essence of the raid as such - the operation of the array presented as one physical disk.
In general, everything will be exactly the same as in the 5th or 6th raid, whatever one may say.

splits the array into blocks not physically, but virtually.

Strange phrase. What does it mean to break into blocks virtually? It's kind of hard for me to even imagine. Here, either it breaks into blocks, or it does not break. How else?

Because this is Huawei's patented technology, it is used only on their expensive servers and there is no separate software.

Not surprising.
Any solution based on RAID 2, 5, 6 can be called productive only in case of hardware implementation. The software there is only the manager and the implementation is hardware.
And you can make a soft raid using most popular operating systems. The only question is why you need it, and what you want to get from it.
