Using the MegaRAID CacheCade Pro 2.0 Feature
The MegaRAID CacheCade Pro 2.0 read and write software eliminates the need to manually configure hybrid arrays by intelligently and dynamically managing frequently accessed data and copying it from HDD volumes to a higher performance layer of SSD cache. Copying the most accessed data (hot spot) to Flash cache relieves the primary HDD array from time-consuming transactions, which allows for more efficient hard disk operation, reduced latency, and accelerated read and write speeds.
The CacheCade Pro 2.0 software is the industry’s first software solution that offers both read and write controller-based caching on SSDs. CacheCade Pro 2.0 dramatically enhances the performance gains that were achieved by the previous generation of software. With the addition of write caching support, read/write-intensive workloads such as Exchange server, high-performance computing (HPC) applications, Web 2.0, and other I/O-intensive OLTP database system workloads, experience dramatic performance improvements.
