​High performance computing (HPC) applications test the limits of storage technology. LSI addresses today's extreme demands for data I/O performance and capacity by delivering storage components with field-tested reliability and a proven history of shattering HPC barriers.

The second-generation 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS 9265-8i and 9285-8e controller cards deliver up to 450K IOPS and over 3.0GB/sec throughput, approximately 400% faster than previous generations for manipulating massive datasets or large sequential files.

Combine our MegaRAID controllers with our MegaRAID CacheCade™ and Fast Path software and you will see order-of-magnitude improvements in overall system performance. CacheCade software enables you to take full advantage of the microsecond speeds of solid-state drives (SSDs) by configuring dedicated SSDs as an additional layer of cache under command of the MegaRAID controller. Fast Path software is designed to optimize data I/O rates for dense, high performance SSD arrays.

When low power, high-density, high performance solid-state storage is required for rapid access to hot data sets or metadata management, the LSI® WarpDrive™ SLP-300 card delivers MLC-based flash performance, reliability at microsecond speeds and reduced latency for application acceleration.

Whether the data I/O performance challenge comes from mapping the cosmos or exploring the universe one Planck Length at a time,  LSI has technology that can help solution providers deliver powerful and reliable systems to today’s demanding HPC applications.
