Product Brief MegaRAID(R) SAS 9270-8i Eight-Port 6Gb/s PCI Express(R) 3.0 SATA+SAS RAID Controller Unmatched RAID Performance for Next-Generation Servers and Storage Key Features Today's data center, cloud and high-performance computing environments not only require Eight internal 6Gb/s SATA+SAS ports increased storage capacity to handle massive volumes of data, but are also challenged to protect Two Mini-SAS internal connectors (SFF8087) and deliver data as quickly as possible to meet the needs of applications and end users. To address LSI SAS 2208 Dual- core 6Gb/s ROC offer a powerful combination of intelligent performance, enterprise RAID data protection and -x2 - 800MHz PowerPC Processors these performance demands as capacity scales, the newest 6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers from Avago proven interoperability with the latest server platforms based on the PCI Express 3.0 specification. PCI Express 3.0 Host Interface 1GB DDRIII cache memory cores and a 72-bit DDRIII interface that drives 1GB cache memory. Powered by the LSI SAS 2208 RAID Levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 dual-core ROC, the 9270-8i controller includes the latest PCI Express 3.0 and 6Gb/s SAS technology Support for optional heat-tolerant battery backup and helps users to maximize the performance benefits of solid state storage. Key Advantages The MegaRAID SAS 9270-8i, with eight internal ports, delivers two 800MHz PowerPC(R) processor Enterprise Data Protection Unmatched RAID performance Standard support for the most popular RAID levels and accessories, including RAID 5, RAID 6 and Connect up to 128 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s SATA and SAS hard drives or SSDs battery backup, further strengthen the data protection capabilities of the MegaRAID SAS 9270-8i. Helps users realize potential of solidstate storage deployments ambient temperatures up to 55 degrees Celsius while protecting the integrity of cache memory in Heat-tolerant battery backup option (LSIiBBU09) Support for Advanced Software Options The intelligent LSIiBBU09 battery backup unit uses heat-tolerant cell technology to withstand 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. Support for Advanced Software Options The family of 6Gb/s MegaRAID controllers are designed to support advanced software options that provide white box channel partners with enhanced performance and data protection capabilities. These new software options help enable end users to address key business challenges while helping to deliver a higher return on their IT investments. MegaRAID CacheCadeTM Pro 2.0 software and MegaRAID Fast Path software boost transactional I/O performance of solid state disk configurations, while MegaRAID Recovery software and MegaRAID SafeStoreTM software enable enhanced data protection and security. Intuitive RAID Management Utility The MegaRAID Management SuiteTM software provides essential tools to manage MegaRAID products, whether deployed in an enterprise or small business. Avago 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.
