1. Reduce Latency Bottlenecks for Server based HDD Volumes Today s workload intensive business applications are often constrained by the perfor mance limitations of their existing hard disk drives HDDs With this type of storage infrastructure already in place it can be cost prohibitive to switch to a new array based purely on solid state drives SSDs Although they are capable of many more transactions per second than HDDs SSDs have a very high cost per gigabyte and are not suited for heavy large file workloads The key to accelerating the performance of existing HDD ar rays without making substantial investments in new hardware is to deploy LSI MegaRAID CacheCade software which leverages SSDs in front of HDD volumes to create high capacity high performance controller cache pools LSI MegaRAID CacheCade Pro 2 0 read write software eliminates the need for manually configured hybrid arrays by intelligently and dynamically managing frequently accessed data and copying it from HDD volumes to a higher performance layer of SSD cache see figure 1 Copying the most accessed data hot spot to flash cache relieves the primary HDD array from time consuming transactions which allows for more efficient hard disk D bd pd a KALLET TETTT ET LLLE LTTTTT T CacheCade Pro 2 0 Cache Pool operation reduced latency and accelerated read and write speeds This provides significant improvements t2. ered trademarks of their respective companies LSI Corporation reserves the right to make changes to any products and services herein at any time without notice LSI does not assume any responsibility or liability arising out of the application or use of any product or service described herein except as expressly agreed to in writing by LSI nor does the purchase lease or use of a product or service from LSI convey a license under any patent rights copyrights trademark rights or any other of the intellectual property rights of LSI or of third parties Copyright 2011 by LSI Corporation All rights reserved July 2011
