LSI® MegaRAID® CacheCade™ Pro 2.0
Reduce Latency Bottlenecks for Server-based HDD VolumesToday’s workload-intensive business applications are often constrained by the performance limitations of their existing hard disk drives (HDDs). 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). 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. 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.

LSI™ SafeStore™ Encryption Services
On Target Security — 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, organisations run the risk of lost revenue, legal implications, and a tarnished reputation. The unfortunate truth is that an organisation’s data is becoming increasingly vulnerable as lost, accidentally exposed or breached data is becoming more and more commonplace in today’s environment. With data security risks on the rise, an influx of government mandates and regulations for securing data have
been implemented and is becoming part of the corporate landscape for many. Eliminating exposure of private data is now simply viewed as a sound business practice.

LSI™ MegaRAID® Recovery Software
LSI MegaRAID Recovery software enhances the LSI data protection feature set by offering Snapshot functionality that allows users to capture source volume data changes and either ‘Restore-from-View’ or ‘Rollback’ to a previous Point in Time (PiT) should accidental or malicious data deletion or infection occur. While traditional overnight backups continue to be the preferred method for creating physical copies of data for offsite or archival purposes, MegaRAID Recovery meets a growing need for more frequent backups and reduced recovery times. By supplementing traditional backup methods with MegaRAID Recovery, IT organisations can greatly enhance their level of business continuity, data protection and restore capabilities.
