HPE SmartCache No Media 24x7 Technical Support Electronic License

Do you need to increase the performance of your storage system? HP SmartCache is a controller-based, caching solution in a DAS environment that caches the most frequently accessed data ("hot" data) onto lower latency Solid State Drives (SSDs) to dynamically accelerate application workloads. SmartCache is hosted on HP Smart Array Controllers and can be enabled on HP Smart Array P420i, P420, P421, P430, and P431 Controllers with 1 GB or larger Flash Backed Write Cache (FBWC) for HP ProLiant Gen8 Servers and on HP Smart Array P440ar, P440 and P441 Controllers with 2 GB or larger FBWC for HP ProLiant Gen9 Servers. HP SmartCache features are standard on Smart Array P721m/2 GB, P822/2 GB, P731m/2 GB, P830/4 GB, and P840/4 GB. HP SmartCache is deployed and managed through the same management tool for HP Smart Array-HP Smart Storage Administrator (HP SSA).

Product Features

• Workload Acceleration and Operational Efficiency for Applications
  The HP SmartCache accelerates performance of applications up to four times by caching "hot" data on solid state drives (SSDs).
  Improves operational efficiency by utilizing your existing HP ProLiant Gen8 and Gen9 Server array controllers.
  Allows you to introduce SSD technology into server configurations at a controlled pace while providing application acceleration.
  Supports read and write-back caching on HP ProLiant Gen9 Servers and read and write-through caching on HP ProLiant Gen8 Servers.
  Provides data protection to the data on Cache Volume (SSDs) by supporting RAID 0 on Gen8 Servers and RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5 on Gen9 Servers. RAID 5 will be supported only with write-back caching policy.
• Unified Manageability and Simplicity in the Data Center
  The HP SmartCache enables unified management through the HP Smart Storage Administrator or HP Array Configuration Utility.
  Simplifies deployment by seamlessly integrating into your data center without the need for any application or operating system changes.
