Durability requirements influence the choice of data protection mechanisms, such as replication, erasure coding, and RAID parity configurations. Achieving higher durability involves trade-offs between redundancy, storage usage ratio, and computational complexity. Replication achieves durability by creating multiple copies of data, which increases redundancy but reduces the storage usage ratio. In…
Case studies are great opportunities to learn from anytime.
