Use Cases

Hardware RAID for boot mirror, database, VM datastores, file/archive, backup targets. Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC) protects in-flight write data on power loss — critical for OLTP / SQL Server / Oracle workloads. Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) for online configuration, RAID migration, hot-spare assignment, predictive failure monitoring.
