What is a useful comparison chart that shows throughput versus cost?

I am mostly curious about what people are using and how satisfied they
are.

We once configured a StorageWorks RA3000 Pedestal Shelf Storage using
a serial port cable and Microsoft software.
Is that the "industry standard" way to configure RAID arrays?
We had to configure the RAID before loading OpenVMS onto that server.

Is there OpenVMS software to examine, configure, backup, restore, etc.
the RAID controller settings?
