The Fujitsu RAID Controller PRAID EP540i with 4GB cache and 16x12Gbit/s SAS ports improves performance for storage-intensive workloads such as databases and sets new speed and data security standards for internal storage drives. The PRAID EP540i supports up to 16 SAS/SATA drives, up to 4 NVMe PCIe drives, or a mixture of SAS/SATA and NVMe drives. NVMe is an interface with lower overhead, lower latency, and drastically increased bandwidth and IOPS. The RAID stack is based on the Broadcom MegaRAID and offers high data throughput, a comprehensive fault tolerance function, and user-friendly management options. Moreover, the controller management is integrated seamlessly into the Fujitsu server management concept. All controller functions are supported by the Fujitsu ServerView RAID Manager. The PRAID EP540i is designed for 3, 6, and 12Gbit/s SAS as well as for 3 and 6Gbit/s SATA drives. Regardless of the drive speed, it delivers significant performance improvements in both read and write applications.
