CISCO UCSC-MRAID12G-2GB – Cisco 12Gbps SAS 2GB FBWC Cache module (Raid

Detailed Description:

The CISCO UCSC-MRAID12G-2GB enhances the Cisco 12G SAS Modular Raid Controller by adding a 2GB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC) module, offering an advanced layer of data protection and performance acceleration for Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) server environments. This module is designed to support a broad range of RAID configurations, ensuring data integrity and availability even in the event of power outages or system failures. The 2GB FBWC acts as a volatile cache during normal operations but utilizes its onboard capacitors to keep the cache powered long enough to transfer write data to flash memory in case of a sudden loss of power, safeguarding against data loss and corruption. This larger cache size is particularly beneficial in environments with high transaction rates or large volumes of write requests, as it can significantly reduce latency and improve overall system responsiveness. Its support for multiple RAID levels allows administrators to optimize storage configurations for the desired balance of performance and redundancy, making it a versatile choice for data centers aiming to enhance their storage reliability and throughput.
