Product Overview of Series Smart Array Gen8 Kit
The HP 661069-B21 512MB Flash Backed Write Cache for P-Series Smart Array Gen8 Kit is a component designed to provide enhanced performance and data protection for storage solutions in server systems. In this article, we will discuss the features and benefits of this cache module and its application in a server system.
Features
The HP 661069-B21 cache module is designed to work with the P-Series Smart Array Gen8 controller, a component responsible for managing and controlling the storage devices in a server system. The cache module is a critical component of the Smart Array controller, as it provides a high-speed buffer for frequently accessed data, improving performance and reducing latency.
The cache module is equipped with 512MB of memory and uses flash memory technology, which offers several advantages over traditional DRAM-based caches. Flash memory has a lower power consumption and a longer lifespan than DRAM, making it more reliable and cost-effective. Additionally, the flash-backed cache module ensures that data is not lost in the event of a power failure or system crash, as the data is stored on non-volatile flash memory.
Benefits
Improved Performance: The HP 661069-B21 cache module provides a high-speed buffer for frequently accessed data, reducing latency and improving system performance. By storing frequently accessed data in the cache module, the Smart Array controller can quickly retrieve data, reducing the time it takes to access data from slower storage devices.
Increased Data Protection: The flash-backed cache module provides an additional layer of data protection in the event of a power failure or system crash. As the data is stored on non-volatile flash memory, it is retained even if the system loses power. This ensures that critical data is not lost or corrupted, minimizing downtime and data loss.
Cost-Effective: Flash memory has a longer lifespan and lower power consumption than DRAM-based caches, making it a more cost-effective option. Additionally, the flash-backed cache module eliminates the need for a separate battery or capacitor module, reducing the overall cost of the storage solution.
Application
The HP 661069-B21 cache module is designed for use with the P-Series Smart Array Gen8 controller, which is a component of server systems. The cache module is compatible with a range of HP ProLiant servers, including the DL360p, DL380p, ML350p, and BL460c Gen8 servers. The cache module can be easily installed into the Smart Array controller, and configuration can be done through the HP Smart Storage Administrator or the HP Array Configuration Utility.
In Summary, the HP 661069-B21 512MB Flash Backed Write Cache for P-Series Smart Array Gen8 Kit is a critical component of storage solutions in server systems. The cache module provides improved performance, increased data protection, and cost-effectiveness, making it an essential component of a storage solution. With its compatibility with a range of HP ProLiant servers, the HP 661069-B21 cache module is an excellent investment for any organization looking to improve the performance and reliability of its server storage solution.
