key Benefits

• SSD Cache allows Solid-State

Drives to be utilitzed as

additional cache for the

RAID controller. Frequently

accessed information is

stored in the cache, allowing

rapid access.

• Fast-Path I/O accelerates

communication with SSD

providing up to 150,000

I/O reads per second for

small, random block-size I/O

activity. This is a dramatic

increase over solutions not

using Fast-Path.

• Encryption Management

enables Authentication

Key management, auto-lock,

and instant erase of

Self-Encrypting Drives.

• All drives eventually leave

the data center and the

use of SED helps reduce risk

of data breaches.

• Instant erase significantly

reduces the cost and time

of repurposing or retiring

drives.

Rapid Recovery Snapshot

allows users to capture source

volume data changes and

either restore files or rollback

applications to a previous Point

in Time (PiT).

• Rapid recovery of lost data

from disk can occur within

minutes, minimizing the

downtime experienced by

users and eliminating the

lengthy process of restoring

data from tape.

• By isolating a server’s boot

volume to a separate virtual

drive and enabling the auto

snapshot feature, users can

be guaranteed that bootable

snapshots exist, should

operating system corruption

occur.
