The RAID concept (Redundant Array of Independent
Disks) refers to several independent hard disks
which form a large logical drive when switched
together.
Redundancy information is calculated from
several data blocks (except for RAID 0) and saved
distributed to the individual hard disks. Your
operating system no longer accesses the individual
hard disks, but the array.
The actual objective of the RAID concept is to
increase availability and prevent downtimes in the
event of a hard disk failure. However, the theoretical
security of the RAID concept is only as good as
the RAID controller used. Benefit from the Fujitsu
RAID controllers where technology, experience and
practical implementation all ensure the security that
your company needs in the event of an emergency.

MegaRAID SAS9285CV-8e SAS RAID 5/6 controller
The MegaRAID® SAS9285CV-8e SAS RAID 5/6
controller is released in the current PRIMERGY
server for connection of the ETERNUS JX40. The
RAID stack is based on the LSI MegaRAID® and
offers a high data throughput performance, a
comprehensive error tolerance function and user-
friendly management options. Management of the
controller is integrated seamlessly into the Fujitsu
Management concept. All controller functions are
supported by the Fujitsu ServerView RAID Manager.
The newest designs are based on architectures
that support both SATA and SAS hard drives. The

The newest designs are based on architectures
that support both SATA and SAS hard drives. The
MegaRAID® SAS 9285-8e, with 8 external SAS/SATA
ports, is the ideal solution for configuring external
enclosures with either high-performance SAS drives
or high-capacity SATA drives. The MegaRAID®
SAS9285CV-8e SAS RAID 5/6 controller features an
LSISAS2208 storage processor, the fastest DDRIII
memory today, and an x8 PCI-Express host interface
to provide the ultimate performance for external
applications. The RAID controller supports all of the
important RAID levels including RAID 6 and 60. The
RAID controller offers maximum I/O performance
and the highest data throughput, because it profits
from stable and tried-and-tested RAID firmware
on the basis of LSI MegaRAID®. The optional flash
battery backup (FBU) module ensures the integrity
of the data stored in the cache on the RAID
controller in case of a power outage. In this event,
the data will be copied to a non-volatile flash
memory. The FBU provides a low-priced alternative
to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and,
when compared to battery backup up units (BBU),
enables a long-term, secure store of data and
better serviceability.
