RAID 5805ZQ

The Adaptec MaxIQ 5805ZQ Storage Controller with SSD caching offers both high I/O transaction and high-bandwidth processing when configured with cost-effective, high-capacity SATA drives or high-performance SAS drives. Using SSD/HDD hybrid arrays, the Adaptec 5805ZQ delivers up to 8x faster performance and up to 70% savings in capital and operating costs compared to HDD-only arrays.

Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching – 8x IOPS
Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching software features a patent-pending Learned-Path Algorithm that identifies frequently read (“hot”) data and copies it directly into an SSD cache for superior read performance. Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching lowers overall system latencies, greatly improving the system CPU-to-storage performance gap, and 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.

Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching does not require changes to storage architectures, application software or operating systems, and is ideal for I/O-intensive data centres and cloud computing environments.

Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection – Save Thousands in Data Centre Costs
The Adaptec 5805ZQ offers Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection to maximise performance and extend power savings by protecting controller-cached data without battery backup units and their monitoring, maintenance, replacement and disposal costs. During a system power loss, the flash memory–based cache protection can preserve data for up to 10 years.

Reduce Capital and Operating Costs by up to 70%
Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching reduces capital expenses by increasing IOPS with less hardware (fewer servers) – thereby significantly cutting energy and maintenance costs.

Broad Compatibility and Easy Management
The Adaptec 5805ZQ features 1.2GHz of processing power, 512MB of DDR2 write cache, MaxIQ Hybrid SSD read caching with support for multiple MLC and SLC SSD devices, and direct I/O connectivity for SATA/SAS SSDs, hard drives and tape devices. Using SAS expanders, it supports up to 256 devices. It supports a broad range of operating systems, is compatible with more than 300 third-party devices and comes with Adaptec Storage Manager™ for centralised management of all Adaptec RAID controllers on the network.
