System Builder Solutions for Data Centers
  • Reduce operating and capital expenditures
  • Get more performance using less hardware
  • Minimize rackspace, power, and cooling costs required to meet SLAs
​
Successful data center managers excel at balancing the constraints of limited budget, limited space, and increasing business requirements. They have the right tools and technologies to leverage their hardware investments; minimize rackspace, power, and cooling costs associated with data storage; and support  business objectives and service-level agreements (SLAs). 
 
Those tools include LSI storage products. That's because storage systems run faster, take less space, consume less power, and require less cooling when they are based the second-generation 6Gb/s MegaRAID® SAS 9265-8i or 9285-8e controller cards from LSI.
 
Advanced software options such as the LSI® MegaRAID CacheCade™ and Fast Path software take full advantage of the microsecond speeds of solid-state drives (SSDs). The performance that used to take several RAID cards and hundreds of hard drives to deliver is now available for business needs and application acceleration at a much lower TCO.
 
The entire line of MegaRAID 6Gb/s SATA+SAS controllers also support Dimmer Switch™ technology. Dimmer Switch, proven power management technology from LSI, manages power consumption for idle, unconfigured and configured drives. That means potentially significant additional cost savings related to power consumption and data center cooling.
 
When data storage requirements call for more capacity, connecting LSI HBAs, MegaRAID or 3ware® RAID controllers to external enclosures using the LSI SAS Switch provides a high performance connection to access all of your storage. Using the same protocols from end to end preserves optimal I/O performance with minimal latency. All that capacity becomes available at a fraction of the cost of other storage interfaces.
 
In short, the broad product portfolio offers the options designed to deliver better performance with less hardware and help data center managers support dynamic business requirements with constrained financial and space budgets.
