HP 365GB IO MLC Accelerator for the BladeSystem c-Class is a direct attach solid state storage technology PCIe card based solution for application performance enhancement Based on Multi-level cell (MLC) NAND Flash technology, it is ideal for markets and applications requiring high transaction rates and real-time data access.
As an I/O card, the IO Accelerator is not a typical solid state drive; rather it is attached directly to the server's PCI Express fabric to offer extremely low latency and high bandwidth. The card is also designed to offer high IOPs (I/O Operations Per Second) and nearly symmetric read/write performance. The IO Accelerator uses a dedicated PCI Express x4 link with nearly 1.3GB/s of usable bandwidth. Each mezzanine slot in the c-Class BladeSystem offers at least that amount of bandwidth, so by combining cards, you can easily scale the storage to match your application's bandwidth needs.
The HP IO Accelerator's driver and firmware provide a block-storage interface to the operating system that can easily be used in the place of legacy disk storage. The storage can be used as a raw disk device, or it can be partitioned and formatted with standard file systems. You can also combine multiple cards on select models using OS RAID (up to 3 cards with a full-height c-Class blade server) for increased reliability, capacity or performance in a single blade server.
