Product Brief MegaRAID SAS 9266-4i Four-Port 6Gb/s PCI Express SATA+SAS RAID Controller Highest Server RAID Performance for Database and Multimedia Applications Key Features As storage demands expand and processing loads grow, it becomes increasingly more difficult Four Internal 6Gb/s SATA+SAS ports for administrators to achieve maximum performance from their applications. The newest line One Mini-SAS internal connector of MegaRAID 6Gb/s SATA+SAS controller cards, built on the LSI SAS 2208 dual-core ROC, offer (SFF8087) unmatched I/O performance for database applications and streaming digital media environments. LSI SAS 2208 Dual- core 6Gb/s ROC The MegaRAID SAS 9266-4i controller, with four internal ports, delivers two 800MHz PowerPC x2 800MHz PowerPC Processors processor cores and a 72-bit DDRIII interface that drives 1GB cache memory. Users can deploy 1GB DDRIII cache memory the MegaRAID SAS 9266-4i controller in existing HDD-based server environments for significant RAID Levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 performance gains. Alternatively, for users implementing server platforms based on solid-state Support for NAND flash or BBU cache storage, these next-generation MegaRAID controllers exploit the potential of SSDs for unsurpassed protection solution performance and enterprise-class reliability. Key Advantages Protect Cached Data with MegaRAID CacheVault Technology or BBU Unmatched RAID performance Connect up to 128 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s RAID caching is a cost-effective way to improve I/O performance by writing data to a controllers SATA and SAS hard drives or SSDs cache before it is written to disk. In write-back mode, data written to cache is vulnerable until it Helps users realize potential of solid- is made permanent on disk. To avoid the possibility of data loss or corruption during a power or state storage deployments server failure, Avago offers the CacheVault flash cache protection module or the LSIiBBU09 battery CacheVault technology option for greener, lower total cost cache backup unit for the MegaRAID SAS 9266-4i controller. CacheVault flash cache protection uses protection (LSICVM01) NAND flash memory powered by a super-capacitor to help protect data stored in the MegaRAID Heat-tolerant battery backup option controller cache. The RAID controller automatically writes the data in cache to flash when a power (LSIiBBU09) failure occurs, while the super-capacitor keeps the current going during the process. When the power comes back, the DRAM is recovered from flash and the system goes on without loss of data. Customers have the flexibility to choose a traditional LiON battery solution or a greener, lower TCO cache protection solution with MegaRAID CacheVault technology. Support for Advanced Software Options The LSI family of 6Gb/s MegaRAID controllers are designed to support advanced software options that provide white box channel partners with enhanced performance and data protection capabilities. These new software options help enable end users to address key business challenges while helping to deliver a higher return on their IT investments. MegaRAID CacheCade software and MegaRAID Fast Path software boost transactional I/O performance of solid state disk configurations, while MegaRAID Recovery software and MegaRAID SafeStore software enable enhanced data protection and security. Intuitive RAID Management Utility The MegaRAID Management Suite of software provides essential tools to manage MegaRAID products, whether deployed in an enterprise or small business. Avago offers a collection of applications and tools including a pre-boot setup utility and a full spectrum of online RAID management utilities. This suite of applications allows administrators to adjust SAS or SATA topology views from the system host, controller and disk enclosure down to the logical and physical drive level. Extending to enterprise deployments, these tools scale to more easily configure, monitor and manage RAID and JBOD volumes locally or over the LAN network.
