Broad industry compatibility –
over 300 devices
Based on our industry-leading Series 5
storage controllers, the maxCache family of
storage controllers combines the incredible
performance of Adaptec’s maxCache SSD
Caching technology with the enterprise-class
data protection features of Zero-Maintenance
Cache Protection and the energy-eciency
of Intelligent Power Management to create
our most advanced storage controllers ever.
Adaptec maxCache controllers oer both
high I/O transaction and high bandwidth
processing whether congured with cost-
eective, high-capacity SATA drives or high-
performance SAS drives. Using SSD/HDD
hybrid arrays, they deliver up to 8X faster
performance and up to 70% cost savings
compared to HDD-only arrays.
Adaptec maxCache SSD Caching —
Up to 8X Higher IOPS
Adaptec maxCache controllers feature a
patent-pending Learned-Path Algorithm
that identies frequently-read (“hot”) data
and copies it directly into an SSD cache (sold
separately) for superior read performance.
e caching lowers overall system latencies,
greatly improving the system CPU-to-storage
performance gap.
Adaptec maxCache controllers do not require
changes to storage architectures, application
soware or operating systems. I/O
intensive data centers and cloud computing
environments can convert industry-standard
servers into cost-eective, high-performance,
scale-out application storage appliances.
Reduce Capital Expenses by up to 70%
e superior IOPS delivered by Adaptec
maxCache allows data centers to implement
less hardware, thereby reducing capital
expenses, as well as energy and maintenance
costs.
Save Thousands with Zero-Maintenance
Cache Protection
Oered on the Adaptec 5805ZQ, Zero-
Maintenance Cache Protection maximizes
performance and extends power savings by
protecting controller cached data without
battery backup units and their monitoring,
maintenance, replacement and disposal
costs. During a system power loss, the ash
memory-based cache protection can preserve
data for up to 10 years.
Reduce Energy Costs by Up to 70%
with Intelligent Power Management
Adaptec maxCache cards include Adaptec
Intelligent Power Management to slash power
and cooling costs by spinning down idle disks
and providing a lower power mode for active
disks.
One-view Storage Management
Adaptec maxCache controllers operate under
Adaptec Storage Manger, a one-view tool
that centralizes management of all Adaptec
storage controller products.
Compatibility, Reliability and Support
Adaptec maxCache controllers support all
major operating systems, and have been
extensively tested with more than 300 third-
party components to deliver the utmost in
compatibility. e cards are backed by a
3-year warranty and Adaptec’s legendary
technical support.
