CONTRÔLEUR PERC H745 AVANT

Dell EMC PowerEdge RAID Controller H745

A sixteen-port 12Gb/s PCI Express RAID controller, the Dell EMC PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) H745 supports 6Gb/s and 12Gb/s SAS or SATA hard-disk drives and solid-state drives.

As storage demands expand and processing loads grow, it becomes increasingly more difficult for administrators to achieve maximum performance from their applications. The newest line of Dell EMC PowerEdge RAID Controller cards, built on the LSISA3516 dual-core ARM A15 RAID-on-Chip (ROC), offer unmatched I/O performance for database applications and streaming digital media environments. The PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) H745, with sixteen internal ports, delivers two high-performance ARM A15 processor cores and integrates a 72-bit, DDR4-2133 DRAM interface that drives 4GB non-volatile cache memory1 . If you are implementing hybrid server platforms based on solid-state storage, these next-generation PERC offerings exploit the potential of solid-state drives (SSDs) for unsurpassed performance and enterprise-class reliability.

Enterprise data protection

Standard support for the most popular RAID levels including RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 50, and RAID 60, further strengthen the data-protection capabilities of the PERC H745. The Dell EMC Flash Backed Cache or NVCache technology backs up the data to non-volatile memory in a power-loss event and can store it safely for a nearly unlimited period of time.

Intuitive RAID management

Managing the PERC H745 is easy using the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9). Without having to deploy an agent, IT admins can configure, deploy, update, and monitor the PERC H745, either via the GUI or through the RACADM CLI. With the release of iDRAC9, customers can perform real-time storage operations through the GUI or RACADM interface. This includes the RAID controllers as well as the physical disks in the PowerEdge system and external JBOD enclosures.

iDRAC benefits include:

• Create VDs, Expand VDs, migrate RAID levels in real-time or stage it to do at a later time
• Support real-time RAID monitoring and inventory of hardware RAID connected to the server

Customers can also use Dell EMC Open Manage Server Administrator/Storage Services (OMSS,) which provides the essential tools to efficiently manage PERC products, whether deployed in an enterprise or small business. Dell EMC offers a collection of applications and tools, including a pre-boot setup utility and a full spectrum of online RAID management utilities. This suite of applications allows administrators to adjust SAS or SATA topology views from the system host, controller and disk enclosure down to the logical and physical drive level. Extending to enterprise deployments, these tools can scale to easily configure, monitor and manage RAID and JBOD volumes locally or over the LAN network.
