cards of acceleration Nytro MegaRAID

The LSI corporation announced in the summer of 2012 receipt in the world sales channel a flash cards of PCIe® LSI® Nytro™ MegaRAID® cards providing simple, transparent and economic acceleration of the application for drives with direct connection (DAS). The Nytro MegaRAID cards have a unique combination a flash technology of PCIe and software of intellectual caching with protection of corporate RAID of data with use of the technology of dual core LSI RAID-on-Chip (ROC) leading in the industry.

Expansion of availability of the product LSI Nytro MegaRAID family answers growth of a data stream with which the managers of DPCs working on creation of balance between application performance, requirements for protection of DWH and data and minimization of expenses should cope.

The Nytro MegaRAID cards offer powerful advantages to the users:

• Reduction of answering interval of the application by 47 times
• A flash performance of the corporate level and reliability of processors a flash DWH of LSI SandForce® flash storage processors with DuraClass™ technology
• Data protection of the corporate level with LSI dual-core ROC technology
• Low administrative costs and considerable reduction of total ownership cost
• Ample opportunities of compatibility with the existing infrastructure by means of the LSI SAS and MegaRAID drivers with function of extensive OS and support of management

'Our partners observe the increased demand for available solutions of acceleration of applications worldwide in connection with the improbable growth of amounts of data which influence opportunities of capacity and data protection in DWH infrastructures, - Brent Blanchard, the sales and marketing director of LSI company says. – We are sure that using unique integration of technology into one card and price policy the Nytro MegaRAID family will change rules of the game in the market and the flash of PCIe available and DPCs, profitable for all types, will be able to introduce powerful benefits of acceleration of the application of solutions.'

The Nytro MegaRAID cards use algorithms of intellectual caching for determination of "hot spots" of the most often used data and automatically move data between built in a flash DWH and hard drives that allows to combine the high performance and capacity of DWH as the result improves the cost of gigabyte and transaction.

The Nytro MegaRAID cards are created according to standards of the industry with drivers of technology of RAID controllers and the support of management providing broad compatibility with existing DWH infrastructures and simple transparent acceleration of the application.

"The Nytro MegaRAID cards provide a flash performance, the checked data protection of RAID and software of intellectual caching, - Ken Hostetler, the director of product management in Silicon Mechanics says. – This ideal solution for applications of clients which needs performance, the capacity and reduction of operating expenses. Extensive abilities to integrate and support of installation drivers do this solution by the fine offer for our clients.'

The Nytro MegaRAID cards are equipped with a low-profile form factor of MD2, conforms to the PCIe 3.0 standard and supports devices 6gbit/s SAS or SATA. Products are already available through world network of distributors, integrators and resellers of LSI company.

The product Nytro MegaRAID family expands a portfolio of the reliable solutions LSI RAID of DWH of the corporate level and acceleration of the application including MegaRAID and controllers 3ware® RAID controllers, host bus adapters, Nytro WarpDrive™ and the product Nytro XD family and also advanced software and functions of data protection data protection.
