Lsi Cachecade Keygen

Adding 2x SSD's makes no difference in scores Making the 2x SSD's a RAID0 array makes no difference in score Setting 'SSD caching' to on (for Cachecade association) makes no difference to score Making 2x SSD's RAID0 CacheCade Array First time run: 2nd time run Subsequent test yield pretty well the same results. SSD caching is doing a great job at small files and being able to dish them out quickly from the much faster SSD access times. But I'm still confused what Fastpath is. The above was achieved using CacheCade array setup. Is fastpath just the software part of the cachecade array? Now looking at post 4 scores and comparing with Post 5 scores. Setting the HDD array to Fastpath specs (disable the spindles to use the cache) reaps very large 4k performance.

Basically the OS is shown the spindle drive but has to go through the Cachecade array (hidden) where Fastpath does its trickery The small file speed gain is quite exceptional, and ideal for a database server or the likes. But if you have a server with lots of large reads and writes then a non Fastpath and non Cachecade (ie just a controller with cache) setup is a much better solution. Cachecade does not favour sequential reads. Fastpath = brilliant for small files read and written, huge boost.

I would think the faster the SSD the better the results. I hope this goes to explain what Fastpath is, I've learned a lot from writing it.

December 8th, 2011 by Kevin OBrien LSI MegaRAID CacheCade Pro 2.0 Review LSI's line of MegaRAID RAID cards have tremendous market share for good reason, they're looked at by many as the de facto standard thanks to solid hardware and a fantastic software stack. Of course LSI's MegaRAID cards are capable of more than just tying together drives, their CacheCade Pro 2.0 add-on leverages the speed benefit of SSDs as cache pools for a larger capacity hard disk array.

The concept of caching is simple - in this case LSI is using CacheCade to store frequently requested data on the SSD (or SSDs, up to 32 are supported). When hot data is requested, the SSD responds, delivering massive latency improvements in read and write-intensive applications. Web, file and data servers all stand to benefit a great deal from the increased read and write speeds of caching. CacheCade continues to operate in the background, using its algorithms to add or remove files from the SSD cache.

Perhaps the best part about CacheCade is its simplicity and low total cost of ownership. The software pack works with LSI's 9260 and 9280 family of RAID cards and may be purchased on LSI's website for $270. The TCO value is huge since an entire array of fast SSDs is no longer needed to get low latency access to data. Caching lowers costs by allowing users to size a data store with cheaper disks and only add as many SSDs as are necessary to handle the hot data. It also allows the caching array to grow as needed, supporting the addition of SSDs as hot data expands without impacting the rest of your array. LSI MegaRAID CacheCade Pro 2.0 Specs • Compatible with MegaRAID SAS 9260/9261/9280 series controllers • Supported Operating Systems - All operating systems supported by MegaRAID controller card • Max. Number of SSD in a CacheCade SSD Pool - 32 • Max.

Number of SSC VD Supported per Controller - Up to 64 • Max. CacheCade Capacity per Controller - 512GB • RAID 1, 10 SSD Write Cache protection Setup and Configuration To show the improvements across multiple scenarios, we built three unique caching platforms to mimic an enthusiast, workstation, and enterprise disk environment. All three platforms were tested through our Lenovo RD240 ThinkServer testing platform with a SAS/SATA 6.0Gb/s LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i as the RAID and caching interface. The following configurations were used for each scenario: Enthusiast: • Four in RAID6 • One for caching • 3.6TB Usable Capacity • Cost of 3.6TB of SSDs: $7,200 • Cost with SSD/HDD caching: $1,120 Workstation: • One • One for caching • 2.8TB Usable Capacity • Cost of 2.8TB of SSDs: $5,850 • Cost with SSD/HDD caching: $1,120 Enterprise: • Three in RAID5 • One for caching • 1.12TB Usable Capacity • Cost of 1.12TB of SSDs: $12,000 • Cost with SSD/HDD caching: $2,170 In each scenario we are leveraging the capacity of the hard drive array with a 100-240GB SSD for caching. In the case of the Enthusiast setup, it would take over 16 240GB SSDs to match the total storage capacity offered by low-power 5,400RPM hard drives. With a street price of around $450 that array would cost over $7,000. Using LSI's CacheCade Pro 2.0 software (assuming you already own the RAID card) it only costs $400 for the hard drives, plus $270 for CacheCade Pro 2.0, and $450 for a single SSD.
