maxCache Solutions
Microsemi Adaptec® maxCache 4.0 caching technology provides the most optimized server storage solution in the market.Overview
maxCache technology, now in its 4th generation, is a SSD caching solution that accelerates application performance and reduces total cost of ownership. Microsem Adaptec maxCache technology allows for solid state storage drives (SSDs) to be configured as cache, then prioritizes data, based on frequency of access, and places most frequently accessed-in this "cache" pool. Data is then pulled from cache (vs. the HDDs), thus improving performance. First-generation maxCache provided significant performance gains for read-intensive applications. MaxCache then evolved with the addition of fully redundant write caching support, advancing the performance capabilities of SSD caching to a broader set of application workloads. The third generation was further enhanced to allow the SSD pool to be utilized as both cache and logical storage simultaneously. Fourth-generation maxcache has now evolved even further in the optimization of SSDs for storage and performance.
