Description
The IBM 13N2198 ServeRAID controller is a high-performance storage adapter designed to deliver superior data management and protection for enterprise servers. It utilizes the PCI Express interface, providing a high-bandwidth connection to the host system for efficient data transfer. This controller is built to support Ultra320 SCSI drives, a standard known for its speed and reliability in demanding server applications, ensuring that storage performance keeps pace with the needs of critical workloads. A key feature of the 13N2198 is its substantial 256MB of onboard cache memory. This larger cache size compared to previous models allows for more aggressive data buffering, significantly enhancing read and write performance, especially in I/O-intensive environments. The controller's hardware RAID capabilities support multiple RAID levels, including RAID 0 for performance, RAID 1 for mirroring, RAID 5 for parity-based redundancy, and RAID 10 for a combination of striping and mirroring. This flexibility enables administrators to tailor storage configurations to meet specific requirements for speed, data integrity, and availability. This ServeRAID controller is engineered for reliability and performance in mission-critical IBM server environments. By handling RAID processing at the hardware level, it frees up the host CPU, allowing for better overall system performance. The 13N2198 is an ideal choice for applications such as high-transaction databases, virtualization platforms, and other data-intensive workloads where data protection, high availability, and consistent performance are essential.
