Evaluation of LSI MegaRAID FastPath SSD Management Software


Demartek has announced its evaluation of the LSI MegaRAID FastPath software with solid state storage (SSS). LSI Corporation commissioned Demartek to evaluate the MegaRAID FastPath software in a Web server environment. FastPath software is an optimized version of LSI’s MegaRAID technology that is designed with SSDs in mind, taking advantage of the increased read and write performance of SSDs.

“By moving the Web server content data to SSDs under FastPath software control, we observed more than 12x performance improvement in overall throughput and an even greater improvement in web server response time,” said Dennis Martin, Demartek president. “These tests show that the MegaRAID FastPath solution with SSDs can improve the performance of existing Web servers or can provide the same performance with fewer Web servers, lowering the total cost of ownership.”

The Demartek evaluation of the LSI MegaRAID FastPath Performance is available at Demartek FastPath Evaluation or by following the links on the Demartek web site.

Additional Demartek SSD resources are available at the Demartek SSD Zone.

Featured Case Study

Virtualization Energizes Cal State University

John Charles is the CIO of California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) and Rich Avila is Director, Server & Network Operations. In late 2007 they were both looking down the barrel of a gun. The total amount of power being used in the data center was 67KVA. The maximum power from the current plant was 75kVA. PG&E had informed them that no more power could be delivered. They would be out of power in less than six months. A new data center was planned, but would not be available for two years.

Featured How-To Note

Storage Virtualization Design and Deployment

A main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center.
