Use striping to bypass IOPS and throughput limitations

When your SQL Server application requires more than the maximum IOPS and throughput available on an EBS volume, consider striping your EBS volume to overcome these limitations.

Striping volumes (RAID) helps you meet your IOPS and throughput requirements, and is limited by the maximum IOPS and bandwidth supported by a particular instance. For more information about striping options, see RAID configuration in the Amazon EC2 documentation. You can also use Storage Spaces on a standalone server. For more information, see the Microsoft documentation.
