¹If you have 1,000 users accessing a database, the performance of a single eXFlash is equal to 100 traditional spinning drives in the same configuration
²One eXFlash pack performs at 240,000 IOPS (30,000 IOPS per drive), 800 traditional spinning drives at 300 IOPS/drive provides equivalent performance
3For the same 1,000 users the equivalent DB performance, eXFlash is 97% based on hardware savings and 40X greater density.

ServeRAID F5115-200GB and -800GB SAS/SATA Controllers
Key Features:
• Integrated solution offering on-board flash capacity,
dynamic caching software, and RAID data protection
• Flexibility to configure integrated flash capacity for
caching or data volumes, eliminating dedicated boot
HDDs and increasing server density
• New Elastic Cache algorithm both increases cache
utilization and performance
• Persistent read cache metadata during power cycle
• Sustains high performance during a HDD failure;
accelerates degraded array rebuild time
• Improved caching algorithm allows more hot spots to
be retained in flash
• 8 GB/second data transfers using a x8 PCI Express®
3.0 host interface

How CacheCade Works
•Traditional HDD-only volumes are limited by the hard disk drive mechanicals
–
–
Configured for large application data set(s)
Limited performance gains by striping lots of HDDs
• In reality, storage supports varying application workloads
–
–
Resulting in hot and cold VD locations
Other logging and paging to very small areas of total VD
Result: sub-optimal storage utilization
•A small amount of SDRAM cache does
accelerate IO performance but overall
performance is still limited by HDDs.

CacheCade Pro 2.0 & Pro 2.1
•High frequency “hot” Read and Write data serviced by the
CacheCade Cache Pool.
•Writes are protected by mirroring SSDs.
•CacheCade Pro 2.0 further improves
performance of data not serviced by
SSDs.
