Solid state drives Adaptec

MaxIQ - 64 GB Add-on kit for Adaptec Series 2, Series 5 and Series 5Z Unified Serial® Storage Controllers creates a hybrid storage array of SSDs and SATA/SAS HDDs that delivers up to 8x faster performance and up to 70% cost savings

Using SSD/HDD hybrid arrays, the Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Cache Performance Kit allows I/O-intensive data centres and cloud computing environments to convert industry-standard servers into cost-effective, high-performance, scale-out application storage appliances.

Ideal for web, file and database servers, MaxIQ combines Intel-powered SSD cache with MaxIQ SSD Caching Software. This application-agnostic caching does not require changes to storage architectures, application software or operating systems.

Up to 8x faster than HDD-only solutions
MaxIQ Caching Software introduces a patent-pending Learned-Path Algorithm that identifies frequently read (“hot”) data, and optimises “reads” by copying this data directly into an SSD cache pool for faster data access and lower overall system latencies, greatly improving the system CPU-to-storage performance gap.

Reduce capital & operating costs by up to 50%
MaxIQ reduces capital expenses by increasing IOPS with less hardware (fewer servers) – thereby significantly cutting energy and maintenance costs.
Pair the MaxIQ SSD Cache Performance Kit with any Adaptec Series 5Z, Series 5 or Series 2 Unified Serial (SATA/SAS) storage controller for a cost-effective, scalable hybrid solution that can deliver the highest IOPS per pound, at the lowest cost per gigabyte.
