… And Accelerates Applications Relying on Oracle Database

For organizations who rely on Oracle Corp.‘s databases, the Intel SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040, powered by LSI Nytro technology, can accelerate applications.

It does this by caching frequently accessed data and reducing the latency required to access it.

A test of an Oracle database simulating an online transaction application found that latency of the DAS-based HDD array was nine times higher than the same array with Intel’s solution installed. Because of this test, it is believed that transaction response times for most Oracle databases with HDD array-based installations can be improved by adding this solution.

This add-in card has a low profile, MD2 profile form factor, allowing it to be integrated into an existing DAS storage system. Furthermore, near plug and play set-up means that it can be installed without involvement from the database or application administrator.

The cache controller is an all-in-one solution integrating hardware RAID protection with onboard PCIe flash for storage and/or R/W caching.

The integrated caching software removes I/O bottlenecks and increases performance in many applications including databases, indexing, big data/Hadoop, Gluster and VDI.
