Microsemi Adaptec Flash Module 700 Kit: AFM-700 Third-Generation Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection Maximum Data Protection and Cost Savings Enabling the onboard cache on a RAID adapter card significantly enhances the performanceespecially in RAID 5 and RAID 6 scenariosby accommodating both read caching and write caching of data. But data stored in the cache for write caching can be lost if the cache is not protected against a power or system failure. Now in its third generation, Microsemi Adaptec Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection (ZMCP) drastically reduces a RAID adapters total cost of ownership (TCO) through the use of flash memory versus lithium-ion batteries. Designed for Microsemi Adaptec RAID Adapters The AFM-700 for ZMCP is included with the Series 8Q (12 Gbps). The 81605ZQ and 81605Z have the flash backup embedded on the board. ZMCP is available as an option for Series 8 (12 Gbps) and Series 7 (6 Gbps) RAID Highlights adapters with the AFM-700 kit, which includes a mounting plate to secure the cap module to an unused PCIe slot. Third-Generation Cached Data Protection for 12 Gbps and 6 Gbps RAID Adapters Advanced Technology Add-on module for Series 8 and Series 7 The AFM-700 features NAND flash memory and super capacitor technologies Included with Series 8Q and Series 7Q that work together to save cached data in the event of system power loss. Flash backup embedded into 81605ZQ and The super capacitor charges while the system is booting. When the module 81605Z detects loss of power, the super capacitor keeps critical parts of the RAID Real-Time Health Monitoring adapter active long enough to allow data to be copied from the onboard Monitors health of cache protection adapter cache to the flash memory. The flash memory can store data for years without power. When power is returned, the data is copied back to the Monitors capacity levels onboard adapter cache and operation resumes as normal with all outstanding Instant RAID Cache Protection I/O requests intact. Fully charged within four minutes instead of hours Ease of Use RAID performance optimized immediately Data center administrators can use ZMCP s new real-time health and instant Maintenance-Free Cached Data Protection capacity monitoring features to instantly check the temperature, capacity, and remaining lifetime of the super capacitor through Microsemi s Adaptec Stores protected data for years maxView Storage Manager, a web-based interface. No need to monitor battery charge level No shutdown required for battery replacement Lower Operating Costs No monitoring, maintenance, replacement, or disposal costs because of batteries No Data Loss from Power Failures Replaces lithium-ion batteries Single-Level Cell (SLC) Flash Faster writes and better reliability than multi-level cell (MLC) flash Environmentally Conscious No toxic battery disposal Simplified IATA compliance Microsemi Adaptec Flash Module 700 Kit: AFM-700 Third-Generation Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection Backup Battery Units (BBUS) vs. ZMCP: Maintenance Requirements Lithium-ion BBUs ZMCP Batteries must be conditioned during initial deployment, adding custom steps and several hours to the No action required deployment process. Battery performance must be continually monitored so that failing batteries can be replaced. No action required A failed battery must be replaced within 72 hours, and sometimes sooner. No action required Batteries must be replaced on a regular maintenance cycle, so replacement batteries must be kept available at No action required each location and maintenance staff must be on-site or on-call. Replacement batteries age even when on the shelf, so a continual purchasing process must be developed and No action required implemented. Lithium-ion batteries must be properly disposed. A process to dispose of the hazardous material must be No action required created, staffed, and funded. Flash Module 700 (AFM-700) The AFM-700 provides Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection for Series 8, Series 8Q/8Z (12 Gbps), Series 7, and Reasons to buy Series 7Q (6 Gbps) RAID adapters to protect data in the controller cache without incurring monitoring, maintenance, replacement, or disposal costs.
