SafeStore
Whether it is sensitive customer information, intellectual property or proprietary data
that helps a company reach its strategic objectives, a company’s data may be its most
valuable asset. If this data is misplaced or stolen, organizations run the risk of lost revenue,
legal implications and a tarnished reputation. With SafeStore software, businesses can be
assured that the highest level of security is placed on their data, while preserving system
performance and ease-of-use. Together with self-encrypting drives (SEDs), SafeStore
software secures a drive’s data from unauthorized access or modication resulting from
theft, loss or repurposing of drives.

Cache Protection Options
RAID caching is a cost-eective way to improve I/O performance by writing data to a
controllers’ cache before it is written to disk. In write-back mode, data written to cache
is vulnerable until it is made permanent on disk. To help avoid the possibility of data loss
or corruption during a power or server failure, Avago oers the CacheVault ash cache
protection module or the battery backup units for MegaRAID SAS controllers cards.

Syncro
As data volumes continue to grow, the need for a sharable, scalable storage solution that
increases eciency and uptime, while lowering costs and power usage, is now more
important than ever.
Avago’s Syncro solutions provide small to medium businesses (SMBs) needing a High
Availability (HA) solution for their mission-critical applications, with an easier to deploy
shared direct attached storage (DAS) solution. Syncro solutions are built on MegaRAID
technology, designed to deliver uptime at the right price point.

CacheCade Pro 2.0
CacheCade Pro 2.0 software provides a combination of caching intelligence and
trusted MegaRAID data protection to accelerate applications in direct-attached storage
environments. When IT pushes hard disk drives (HDD) arrays to reach their I/O potential,
data “hot spots” become inevitable. Utilizing a small solid state drive (SSD) investment
as a front-side ash cache for the much larger disk array, CacheCade Pro 2.0 software
dynamically keeps the “hottest” data in ash memory. This can dramatically improve read/
write speeds and drop latency.
