LVM can be used to implement RAID. It supports stripping and mirroring.

One benefit of using LVM over hardware RAID is that the disk configuration is portable, you can move your disks to another server and as long as the kernel implements a modern version of LVM you can access your data. With hardware RAID, controllers die and your data may or may not ever get back online, usually the recovery or migration to another machine involves restoring from backups.
