Amplify
You can amplify your data center with more security, speed and capacity.
More Security – Protect Data-at-Rest
LSI™ SafeStore™ Encryption Services for self-encrypting drives (SEDs) helps secure drive's data from unauthorized access.
- Instant Secure Erase makes data from drives unreadable, and minimizes the amount of time and money normally required to retire, return, or repurpose drives.
- Auto Lock prevents access to drive contents when unplugged, switched off, or removed from the system.
More Speed
You can deliver more reads and writes to your customers.
- Up to 2,500MB/s reads and 3,000MB/s writes
- Up to 50% more database transactions
- Up to 70% more video streams
- Up to 190% faster backups for your users
More Capacity
Create larger capacity systems by connecting more HDDs to a single controller.
- Up to 512TBs
- Connects from 240 to 512 HDDs to a single controller
6 GB/s SATA+SAS
LSI™ MegaRAID SATA+SAS controller cards provide improved reliability, data protection capabilities, and significant performance improvements in both read and write applications. Plus, they are backward compatible with 3Gb/s SATA and 3Gb/s SAS HDDs.
To gain all of the benefits that LSI 6Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS has to offer, including SafeStore™ Encryption Services, select from one of two solutions below:
- Eight-port Internal MegaRAID SAS 9260DE-8i provides a new level of performance and data protection for internal storage systems using up to 32 SATA or SAS hard drives or solid state drives (SSDs).
- MegaRAID SAS 9280DE-8e, with eight external SATA+SAS ports, it is ideal for configuring external enclosures with your choice of high-performance SAS hard drives, high-capacity SATA hard drives or energy-efficient SSDs.
Optimize
With LSI™ 6Gb/s SATA+SAS, you optimize storage applications as you create larger capacity systems by connecting more HDDs to a single controller. As a result, there is a reduction of servers and storage devices utilized, which allows for more efficient management.
- Save energy - With improved controller power profiles, you can save energy and reduce power consumption – over 3 watts.
- Reuse HDDs Quickly – SEDs managed by LSI SafeStore™ Encryption Services can be reused in a matter of seconds. You can have hardware that was used by one client, reconfigured and ready to host a new client quickly.
Economize
By amplifying and optimizing, you economize your storage systems. You can support more users with less administrative time, use less energy, and reduce both capital and operating costs. It's about more than lowering TCO with LSI, it’s about meeting user demands with efficient and economical management of your storage infrastructure.
- Generate more I/Os from controller investments
- Utilize servers and storage investments to their fullest potential
- Reduce the number of servers and storage devices
- Use less energy and save on utility bills
