High Performance Flash
• Exceptional ROC performance augmented with
high speed Flash. In addition to the dual core LSI*
SAS2208 ROC, up to 1TB of Flash significantly
enhances the performance of many mainstream
applications.

• Advanced capabilities that don’t require you to be
an expert. Built-in caching algorithms manage data
transfer to and from the Flash pool without the need
for special code, intimate application data structure
knowledge or time spent understanding configuration
complexities.

• Outstanding data protection and availability.
Supports data redundancy using SAS or SATA hard
disk drives through mirroring, parity, and double parity
(RAID levels 1, 5, and 6) plus striping capability for
spans (RAID levels 10, 50, and 60).

spans (RAID levels 10, 50, and 60).
• Optimized Flash use for both Reads & Writes.
Many competing Flash caching technologies are
limited to Read use and do not allow for Write
capability. Writes can be mirrored to help protect
against data loss prior to the date being written to
the designated RAID array.

• Faster rebuild during degraded states. In a
degraded array scenario, the time to optimal
performance can be reduced by as much as 75%.

MegaRAID technology, unleashes the IOPs
and throughput potential afforded by solid-
state memory without requiring a full array
of SSD. As an example of the performance
acceleration possible, replacing a standard
RAID card with the Intel RCS25ZB040
resulted in a transaction rate of more than
an order of magnitude (10x) for a database
server in a test environment.

The Intel RCS25ZB040 utilizes intelligent
caching algorithms to help identify
frequently accessed data or “hot spots” and
to promote them to the fast on-board Flash.
SSD Caching RAID acceleration can be more
cost-effective than direct attach solid-state
drive (SSD)-only arrays or short stroked
hard disk drive (HDD) environments.
