LSI and Intel to develop flash-card with 1TB ssd storage

Hardware vendor LSI, together with Intel a pci-express card developed in servers for data storage can be used. The map can ge lwa, be integrated into existing storage systems and access to data on hard drives faster.

With the latest Nytro MegaRaid cards from LSI, which together with Intel were developed, existing storage systems a lot faster than it should be. The cards send traditional storage systems that are of high-speed hard drives exist, but accelerate the access to data by large solid-state caches. The top model of the series has 1TB of flash memory on board, by Intel Raid SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040LX is controlled. In addition, a model with 256GB flash memory, with the RCS25ZB040-controller on board. The controllers have 1GB ddr3 memory on board and feature sas-6Gbps interfaces.

The cards make use of two embedded ssds exclusively as caching drives service for the directly-attached storage that the cards be controlled. According to the two companies need the MegaRaid Nytro-cards existing storage systems with hard drives is significantly faster, depending on the application. The latencies and response times of servers, the Nytro cards are lower, while the number of transactions per second is increased thanks to the large and fast caches. It would also be an expansion of existing storage systems with the Nytro cards much cheaper than an upgrade to a completely solid state das.
