ZD-XL SQL Accelerator 1.5
Integrated Flash Hardware & Software Acceleration
Solution for SQL Server
Solution for SQL Server
Overview
ZD-XL 1.5 SQL Accelerator is a tightly integrated hardware/software, plug-and-
play acceleration solution optimized for Microsoft SQL Server applications. It
leverages OCZ’s industry-proven PCIe SSD hardware and application-tuned
software to deliver low latency flash that resolves potential SQL Server bottleneck
issues enabling the flash to be deployed as a local flash volume, a flash cache for
HDD volumes, or as a combination of both. The solution includes a combination
of fast flash performance, a unique cache mechanism that makes advanced and
statistically-optimized decisions on what data to cache, and a dynamic cache
warm-up scheduler that enables workloads to be placed on flash cache in advance
of demanding and critical jobs.

Innovative Flash Volumes & Flash Caching
The ZD-XL SQL Accelerator architecture leverages OCZ’s industry-proven PCIe
SSD hardware and software intellectual property (IP) to deliver low latency flash that
can be deployed as local flash volumes, a flash cache for HDD volumes, or as a
combination of both. For small databases that fit in flash, local flash volumes enable
SQL Server to accelerate read and write operations such as tempDB files enabling
them to benefit from the media’s fast read/write performance. While flash volumes
provide the fastest performance, flash caching lowers CAPEX and OPEX by
combining smaller amounts of flash with less costly HDDs. Therefore, partitioning
flash resources between local volumes and cache enables tempDB files to take
advantage of the media’s flash performance while hot data can be simultaneously
cached from larger databases for immediate SQL Server availability. This unrivalled
flash partitioning not only helps to deliver optimal storage performance, but also
enables DBAs to future-proof their flash investment as database capacities grow.
