Product Brief
Unmatched RAID Performance for Next-Generation Servers and Storage
Today’s data center, cloud and high-performance computing environments not only require
increased storage capacity to handle massive volumes of data, but are also challenged to protect
and deliver data as quickly as possible to meet the needs of applications and end users. To
address these performance demands as capacity scales, the newest 6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers
from LSI offer a powerful combination of intelligent performance, enterprise RAID data
protection and proven interoperability with the latest server platforms based on the PCI Express
3.0 specification. The MegaRAID SAS 9286-8e, with eight external ports, delivers two 800MHz
PowerPC® processor cores and a 72-bit DDRIII interface that drives 1GB cache memory. Powered
by the LSISAS2208 dual-core ROC, the 9286-8e controller includes the latest PCI Express 3.0 and
6Gb/s SAS technology and is designed for configuring external storage enclosures with high-
performance SAS hard drives, high-capacity SATA hard drives or application-accelerating SSDs or
for building more sophisticated configurations using LSI 6Gb/s SAS Switch products.

Enterprise Data Protection
Standard support for the most popular RAID levels and accessories, including RAID 5, RAID 6
and battery backup, further strengthen the data protection capabilities of the MegaRAID SAS
9286-8e. The intelligent LSIiBBU09 battery backup unit uses heat-tolerant cell technology to
withstand ambient temperatures up to 55 degrees Celsius while protecting the integrity of cache
in the event of a power or server failure. This resistance to a high temperature environment along
with remote mounting options gives system builders the flexibility to place the LSIiBBU09 away
from thermal hot spots in multiple locations throughout the chassis.

Intuitive RAID Management Utility
The MegaRAID Management Suite™ of software provides essential tools to manage MegaRAID
products, whether deployed in an enterprise or small business. LSI offers a collection of
applications and tools including a pre-boot setup utility and a full spectrum of online RAID
management utilities. This suite of applications allows administrators to adjust SAS or SATA
topology views from the system host, controller and disk enclosure down to the logical and
physical drive level. Extending to enterprise deployments, these tools scale to more easily
configure, monitor and manage RAID and JBOD volumes locally or over the LAN network.
