Intel Offers Unlockable Features for Addon RAID Cards

embeddedpcs — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:08:01 +0000

Intel’s RAID cards that are based on LSI SAS2108 (LSI MegaRAID) have unlockable premium features that can be accessed via a dongle that plugs into the RAID card. The features that can be unlocked are the following:

SSD Cache with Fast Path IO

Uses SSD’s as additional cache to the RAID controller, this allows for data that is frequently accessed to be cached for faster access
Improves the speed of SSD’s by providing up to 150,000 I/O reads per second, which is ideal for small reads of the hard drive.

Drive Encryption Management

Enables authentication key management, auto-lock, and instant erase of self-encrypting drives
Helps reduce risk of data being compromised when drives eventually leave the data center
Significantly reduces the cost and time of re-purposing or retiring drives

Rapid Recovery Snapshot

Allows users to capture source volume data changes and either restore files or roll back applications to previous point in time
Recovers lost data from data from disk in minutes, minimizing the downtime that users experience and eliminating the lengthy process of restoring data from tape
Allows isolation of a server’s boot volume to a separate virtual drive; by enabling the Auto Snapshot feature, users are guaranteed that bootable snapshots exist, in case corruption of the operating system occurs
