Using LVM in Linux to manage storage devices
Logical volume management (LVM) is a powerful storage administration framework that abstracts the physical layout of storage devices by introducing logical volumes. Taking advantage of the Linux device mapper kernel driver, LVM offers a software version of a storage area network (SAN), allowing for more efficient and flexible storage utilization and management through dynamic resizing and storage allocation.
Redis is a powerful, high-performance, in-memory key-value data storage solution. Primarily leveraged for caching, message brokering, and session storage, Redis ensures swift and efficient data access and manipulation. Its support for diverse data structures, replication, the ability to handle real-time data processing tasks, and seamless scalability make Redis an indispensable solution for modern high-performance applications.
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) provides us with a Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM)-like browser-based console that allows you to remotely control and manage your server when you don’t have access to Secure Shell (SSH) or RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) — or when the operating system is not responsive. When using IPMI, it also provides the right tools to mount an ISO file on your server. An ISO file takes it name from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9660 standard. It also ca be called an ISO image, and it is a type of specialized archive file that is intended to contain and maintain an exact copy of the data that was originally stored on an optical disc. The primary purpose of an ISO file is to contain a replica of the content of the optical disc in a digital format, effectively emulating the presence and functionality of a physical optical drive. This digital representation allows for convenient access and utilization of the stored data without needing the physical disc, offering a virtual alternative to traditional optical media.
With businesses transitioning into the cloud, the significance of secure and flexible data storage is becoming increasingly apparent. And while most self-hosted cloud storage solutions may lack functionality, popular proprietary platforms often don’t provide the desired level of transparency and flexibility and may be difficult to integrate into the existing application stack.

Every modern HDD or SDD has an option to monitor its current status and health via SMART attributes. The SMART test can be performed to detect any potential problems with the hardware itself. Tests such as these are run using smartctl. According to the Linux man page, smartctl is a command line utility designed to perform SMART tasks. Examples of these tasks would be printing error logs or enabling and disabling automatic SMART testing.
