Read and Write caching of hot spot data for significant reduction in I/O latency.Accelerates performance of existing HDD arrays with small upfront investment.With the addition of write caching support, read/ write-intensive workloads such as Exchange server, high performance computing (HPC) applications, Web 2.0 and other IO-intensive OLTP database system workloads, experience dramatic performance improvements. Manual storage management and in-house application tuning costs can be avoided with CacheCade Pro 2.0 software, lowering the total cost of storage ownership for datacentres and small-to-medium businesses.Īpplication Acceleration Across Business Critical WorkloadsĬacheCade Pro 2.0 software is the industry’s first software solution that offers both read and write controller-based caching on SSDs, dramatically enhancing the performance gains achieved by the previous generation CacheCade software. CacheCade Pro 2.0 software is designed to improve the performance of a server’s existing drive volume(s) by, dynamically utilizing SSDs as a dedicated pool of RAID controller cache to maximize random read and write performance. The key to accelerating the performance of existing HDD arrays without making substantial investments in new hardware is to deploy LSI MegaRAID CacheCade software which leverages SSDs in front of HDD volumes to create high-capacity, high-performance controller cache pools.ĬacheCade Pro 2.0 software offers the perfect combination of HDD capacity and SSD speed.

Although they are capable of many more transactions per second than HDDs, SSDs have a very high cost per gigabyte and are not suited for heavy, large file workloads. With this type of storage infrastructure already in place, it can be cost prohibitive to switch to a new array based purely on solid state drives (SSDs). Today’s workload-intensive business applications are often constrained by the performance limitations of their existing hard disk drives (HDDs). Product Overview MegaRAID CacheCade Pro 2.0 Software
