Servers and Storage

The explosive growth of data in cloud and enterprise datacenters is

driving the need for a higher performance storage interface to speed the

ability of critical applications to access data. Broadcom first-to-market

12 Gb/s SAS solutions are designed to deliver the performance and data

protection capabilities required for the most demanding next-generation

server and storage platforms. Oering up to double the data transfer

rate of 6 Gb/s SAS solutions, 12 Gb/s SAS allows the SAS infrastructure

to deliver bandwidth that can fully utilize that of PCI Express® 3.0 with a

single controller card. The MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i, with eight internal ports,

Enterprise Data Protection

Standard support for the most popular RAID levels and accessories,

including RAID 5, RAID 6, and CacheVault® Flash cache protection module,

further strengthen the data protection capabilities of the MegaRAID SAS

9361-8i. A new enterprise feature employed by the 12 Gb/s MegaRAID

SAS controllers is advanced drive diagnostic technology. In the event of a

physical drive failure, the drive is placed in shield state and the MegaRAID

controller starts drive diagnostics to determine if the drive is indeed failed

or can be restored. This saves customers time, money and lost compute

time associated with transient drive failures and unnecessary drive returns.

MegaRAID CacheCade™ Pro 2.0 software (optional) and MegaRAID Fast

Path software (included) boost transactional I/O performance of solid state

disk configurations, while SafeStore™ software enables enhanced data

protection and security when used with encryption capable devices.
