Adaptec 131CA - AAA RAID Controller Manuel d'utilisateur télécharger pdf

Overview

High-end applications demand high-

performance computing. Traditionally,

users have had to rely on expensive,

proprietary systems to get that per-

formance. Today,however, users are

increasingly migrating to PC worksta-

tions using the Intel

Pentium

™

microprocessor and the Microsoft

Windows NT Workstation operating

system. But native Windows NT strip-

ing and/or increased system memory

for larger file caching have not met the

performance needs of these users.

Adaptec has taken a leadership role in

performance improvement, increas-

ing system performance for PC work-

station-based CAD, multimedia and

other disk I/O-bound applications.

The AAA-131CA array adapter

caches reads and writes while intelli-

gently striping data on two or more

drives for maximum I/O subsystem

performance. For applications that

require fault tolerance, RAID 1 (mir-

roring) support is included. An easy-

to-use GUI-based interface saves time

and ensures proper installation.

Key Benefits

Up to twofold performance increase

The AAA-131CA array adapter turns

a Windows NT PC workstation into a

powerful performance engine.

Advanced caching technology delivers

unrivaled productivity gains—up to a

twofold performance increase for spe-

cific applications.

The AAA-131CA array adapter uses a

RAID coprocessor to manage 16-

MBytes of memory for caching data.

Caching algorithms pre-fetch data,

performing look-ahead and demand

reads that anticipate requests for data

sets. Write data blocks are stored in

cache, accelerating performance and

freeing the CPU for background tasks,

further boosting productivity.

Cost-effective upgrade

A PC workstation requires just one

modest addition to unleash its

potential

—

AAA-131CA array adapter

with a caching RAID coprocessor.

The AAA-131CA array adapter deliv-

ers a price-performance gain

unequaled in the industry.
