Understanding the effects of disk subsystems

TeamWork does not require a particular disk subsystem type—the only requirement is that Windows supports the hardware and the account under which the EDM Server service is run can access the device. This means that TeamWork can take advantage of disk storage space on a single local drive, multiple local drives, a separate file server, network attached storage (NAS) devices, or storage area network (SAN) devices. However, disk compression and data encryption are not recommended for TeamWork.

Redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID) systems are typically chosen primarily for data protection purposes and provide a minimal performance increase to TeamWork. If you choose to use a software-based RAID system, the TeamWork performance will most likely decrease. If you want to implement a RAID system, choose a hardware-based RAID system.
