Performance Benefits and More
Serving data requests from flash can significantly reduce application latency, leading to
improved user response times and quality-of-service. The graph below compares the
performance of a SQL Server® database driven by an online transaction processing (OLTP)
workload in a hardware configuration with only HDDs against a Nytro MegaRAID
card-supported configuration. In this test case performed by LSI in its labs, the Nytro MegaRAID
card’s intelligent caching and integrated flash storage yielded an 80x faster response

Applications that benefit from caching can also benefit from reduced rebuild time for
degraded RAID arrays, even when using high-capacity HDDs. With the Nytro MegaRAID card
servicing IO from the onboard flash, the backend HDDs are less burdened and can dedicate
more resources to the rebuild operation.

Enterprise Endurance and Ease of Use
The Nytro MegaRAID card utilizes the strength of the LSI technology portfolio to deliver an
enterprise-quality solution. The LSI MegaRAID stack offers enterprise data protection while LSI
SandForce® flash processors help ensure enterprise-grade flash performance and endurance.
Nytro MegaRAID card’s broad range of supported operating systems - including in-box drivers
- make it possible to replace the standard RAID card or HBA that would already be needed in
many server designs with an accelerated flash solution.
