The explosive growth of data in cloud and enterprise data centers is driving
the need for a higher performance storage interface to speed the ability
of critical applications to access data. Broadcom 12 Gb/s SAS solutions
are designed to deliver the performance and data protection capabilities
required for the most demanding next-generation server and storage
platforms. Offering up to double the data transfer rate of 6 Gb/s SAS
solutions, 12 Gb/s SAS allows the SAS infrastructure to deliver bandwidth
that can fully utilize that of PCI Express 3.0 with a single controller card
Next-Generation High Port Count SAS RAID
The MegaRAID® SAS 9380-8i8e, with eight internal and eight external ports
in a low-profile form factor, delivers two 1.2 GHz PowerPC processor cores
and a 72-bit DDR3 interface that drives 2 GB cache memory. Powered by
the SAS3316 dual-core ROC, with 16 native SAS/SATA ports, the 9380- 8i8e
controller can take full advantage of the latest PCI Express 3.0 interface
to provide higher performance and increased throughput. The 12 Gb/s
MegaRAID SAS 9380-8i8e is designed to direct connect eight drives
inside the box or eight drives outside the box. By leveraging SAS expander
technology, users can expand to up to 240 drives increasing inside the box
drive count or through supporting external JBOD storage enclosures
Enterprise Data Protection
The MegaRAID SAS 9380-8i8e RAID controller supports data retention
by using NAND flash memory down on the controller, backed up by
a CacheVault Power Module 02 (CVPM02). The CVPM02 module is a
supercapacitor pack that provides power for the backup of your data in
case of host power loss or server failure. The CVPM02 module is connected
to the controller remotely by cable. The data is backed up to the NAND
flash memory on the MegaRAID controller board.
Standard support for the most popular RAID levels, including RAID 5
and RAID 6, further strengthens the data protection capabilities of the
MegaRAID SAS 9380-8i8e. A new enterprise feature employed by the
12 Gb/s MegaRAID SAS controllers is advanced drive diagnostic
technology. In the event of a physical drive failure, the drive is placed
in shield state and the MegaRAID controller starts drive diagnostics
to determine if the drive is indeed failed or can be restored. This saves
customers time, money and lost compute time associated with transient
drive failures and unnecessary drive returns
