MaxIQ SSD is a new Adaptec product for getting the most out of storage arrays, mixing both Hard Disk and SSD together.
The MaxIQ SSD Cache Performance Kit adds a 32GB Intel X25-E Extreme SATA SSD into the I/O path. An algorithm automatically works out the most commonly used data and caches it, enabling the information to be accessed more quickly in the future.
Normally you can have the performance of SSD with the higher cost point or the cheap HDD lacking in performance. This solution breaks the trade off.
The MaxIQ solution’s performance is five times faster than HDD alone and can save up to 50 per cent of hardware and operating costs.
It is compatible with both SATA and serial attached SCSI and ideally suits a data centre focused on high levels of read, such as web serving, file serving or database.
Integrating high-performance SSDs in a variety of enterprise environments with new storage management techniques will help to overcome the 'I/O bottleneck,' which has grown at greater rates in recent years as the power of multi-core processors has accelerated in scale compared to the performance of traditional hard disk drives (HDDs).
