​High performance computing (HPC) applications test the limits of storage technology. LSI understands what those demands mean for data I/O performance and capacity, delivering leading edge components with field tested reliability.

LSI’s latest generation dual core, RAID-on-Chip (ROC) MegaRAID 9265-8i or 9285-8e 6Gb SAS and SATA RAID 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 cards with our CacheCade and FastPath software and you will see order-of-magnitude improvements in overall system performance. CacheCade 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. FastPath 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 delivers MLC-based flash performance and 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.
