IBM AIX® supports data mirroring, that is, RAID 1 (redundant array of inexpensive disks), built into its logical volume manager [see RAID Options Supported by LVM, IBM Corporation, http:// publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/aix/index.jsp?topic=/ com.ibm.aix.prftungd/doc/prftungd/lvm.htm&tocNode=int_206342.]. RAID 1 is also supported by the Linux multiple-device driver. Sun Solarise and Microsoft Windows® Server achieve RAID 1 support with third-party products, such as Symantec Veritas™ Volume Manager.
