The result is superior overall system performance compared to non-scalable, hub-based systems that share the bandwidth of a single DMA channel. In addition, 3DM(R)2 is powerful remote management software that simplifies the configuration, management and monitoring of 3ware storage arrays. It provides an intuitive interface to remotely create, manage and monitor your 3ware RAID arrays and single disks in a robust, secure array management environment for your RAID protected data.

The LSI Nytro PredictorTM software tool identifies "hot spots" in applications that frequently access an area of SAN or DAS storage. Locating these hot spots and accessing them from PCIe(R) based flash memory can help speed access to this data providing the user with faster responses. The Nytro Predictor software is designed to allow IT management and DBAs to identify which applications may benefit from smart caching using flash-based storage. 18 Solid State Storage Advances in flash memory technology are increasing the range of storage system solutions available to meet the expanding challenges of today's market. In applications where high transaction rates are required, but where size, heat and total cost of ownership are equally compelling factors, LSI technology has taken a leadership position. Placing flash memory in HDD form factors can remove the latency of traditional rotating memory as well as reducing power and size requirements. Further system enhancement is possible by also moving this new storage technology into a more advantageous place in the performance hierarchy, "closer" to the processor on a PCIe bus. The LSI WarpDrive SLP-300 is a LSI high performance product in this exciting new product category.

In write-back mode, data written to cache is vulnerable until it is made permanent on disk. To avoid the possibility of data loss or corruption during a power or server failure, LSI offers the CacheVaultTM flash cache protection module or the battery backup units for MegaRAID SATA+SAS controllers. CacheVault flash cache protection uses NAND flash memory powered by a super-capacitor to protect data stored in the MegaRAID controller cache in the even of a power failure. LSI 6Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS controllers, together with CacheVault flash technology, virtually eliminate hardware maintenance associated with LithiumION batteries, lower total cost of ownership over the life of the controller card, and provide more environmentally friendly cache protection, all while maintaining optimal RAID performance.
