NetApp 111-02088 Network APPLIANCE 111-02088 PCI NVRAM Adapter

Description

The NetApp 111-02088 is a specialized PCI adapter designed for NetApp network appliances. Its primary function is to provide Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) capabilities. NVRAM is crucial in storage systems as it allows critical data, particularly write cache contents, to be retained even during unexpected power outages. This prevents data loss and corruption, ensuring the integrity of the stored information. This adapter interfaces with the storage system via the PCI bus, a standard expansion slot interface. By incorporating NVRAM, the 111-02088 enables the storage controller to buffer write operations more effectively. Data written to the NVRAM is considered safe and can be acknowledged quickly by the host system, improving perceived write performance. In the event of a power failure, the NVRAM's contents are preserved by a battery backup (typically integrated or a separate required component), allowing for a safe shutdown or data recovery upon power restoration. The NetApp 111-02088 is a key component for ensuring the reliability and performance of NetApp's storage solutions. It plays a vital role in environments where data integrity and high availability are paramount. Its design as a PCI adapter ensures compatibility with a range of NetApp appliances that utilize this interface for expansion and added functionality.
