Today’s workload-intensive business applications are often constrained by the performance limitations of their existing hard disk drives (HDDs). With this type of storage infrastructure already in place, it can be cost prohibitive to switch to a new array based purely on solid state drives (SSDs). Although they are capable of many more transactions per second than HDDs, SSDs have a very high cost per gigabyte and are not suited for heavy, large file workloads. The key to accelerating the performance of existing HDD arrays without making substantial investments in new hardware is to deploy LSI MegaRAID CacheCade software which leverages SSDs in front of HDD volumes to create highcapacity, high-performance controller cache pools.
