As data continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, mainstream server environments that include database servers, e-mail servers, and Web servers need a higher level of performance and scalability. Now with the Intel® RAID Controllers RS3DC080 and RS3DC040, powered by LSI® MegaRAID® Technology, organizations get next generation SAS 3.0 12Gb/s performance, enterprise-class data protection and scalability designed for mainstream server environments. Featuring more than 750K RAID 5 IOPS – more than 60 percent improvement over the previous generation – and 6,000MB/s throughput performance for streaming applications, these RAID adapters unleash the full potential of enterprise PCIe 3.0 systems.1. The Intel® RAID Controllers RS3DC080 and RS3DC040 double the available bandwidth of current 6Gb/s SAS solutions, and offer a higher level of RAID performance and security compared to entry-level products. They feature eight and four internal ports respectively, deliver two 1.2GHz processor cores and 72-bit DDRIII interface that drives 1GB cache memory at 1866MHz. They support 8 PCI Express® lanes that comply with the latest PCI Express 3.0 specification with 8 gigatransfers per second (GT/s) per lane. Plus, each adapter supports 8 individual SAS ports operating at 12Gb/s. The adapters are backward compatible with previous PCIe and SAS generations through automatic negotiation and provide SAS data transfer rates of 12, 6, and 3Gb/s per lane, and SATA data transfer rates at 6 and 3Gb/s per lane. The Intel RAID Web Console 2 included in these adapters enhances RAID volume creation by empowering administrators to further optimize their storage for application performance and data protection.
