- Combines full HBA functionality with basic hardware RAID
- Broad operating system support through highly efficient, low-latency PQIdriver driver
- 12 Gbps SAS data rates using mini-SAS HD connectors
- Significant power savings delivers lower total cost of ownership
The SmartHBA 2100 is an ideal solution for server-based storage systems that require maximum bandwidth and I/O connectivity, low power consumption, high reliability, plus options for data availability. The Smart Storage Platform even allows a combination of RAID and raw devices. This is useful in SDS environments where hardware RAID significantly increases OS boot reliability, but full HBA features and performance are otherwise needed. The SmartHBA 2100 also provides enhanced enclosure management capabilities to both RAID and raw devices, and enables enclosure services by providing a virtual SEP to software stacks if needed.
