When the installer sees a single disk whether or virtual of physical hardware it will not install any RAID functions for obvious reasons,  but LVM will be selected: on virtual hardware you may prefer to not use LVM depending on your deployment plan. This can be specifed as shown below.

With SME Server, you have the ability to set up disk mirroring and striping, also called RAID. In disk mirroring, your data is written to two separate hard disks installed in your server. One is the mirror of the other. Should the primary disk experience a hardware failure, the mirror disk will continue operations as if nothing had happened. All of your data will be protected from the single disk failure. This does NOT replace the need for backups! Other levels of RAID offer similar protections with more disks incorporated.

RAID can be accomplished through either software or hardware.
