LSI server-side PCIe flash technology selected by Intel to accelerate database and big data apps

USA: LSI Corp. has entered into an expanded original equipment manufacturer (OEM) relationship with Intel, whereby LSI Nytro MegaRAID technology will be available as part of the Intel RAID product family.

Flash technology is experiencing rapid adoption in enterprise servers as customers look for ways to accelerate storage performance while optimizing existing investments in hard disk drive and direct-attached
storage (DAS) infrastructure.

LSI Nytro MegaRAID technology uniquely integrates intelligent caching software with server-side PCIe flash and LSI's leading dual-core RAID-on-Chip (ROC) technology. This integration is designed to enable simple, transparent application acceleration and RAID data protection for DAS environments.

LSI Nytro MegaRAID technology cuts latency and boosts application performance by converting server-based flash into a "hot" data cache for critical business applications. Nytro MegaRAID technology will help to provide Intel server board and systems customers with very high levels of random IOPS performance for data-intensive and latency-sensitive workloads such as databases and big data applications, Hadoop implementations and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).

Benchmark testing using Nytro MegaRAID cards have achieved up to a 33 percent improvement in the time it takes to complete Hadoop jobs and delivered support for up to twice as many VDI sessions compared to a non-caching storage implementation.
