Today we are evaluating the newest version of CacheCade, a storage caching system developed by LSI for use with their MegaRAID controllers. This system aims to create the perfect fusion between HDD capacity and SSD speed, accelerating new or existing storage subsystems that are already in place. A previous CacheCade v1.0 review of the software illustrated some of the extreme performance gains that are to be had with the selective intelligent caching of data in storage subsystems. That version, while extremely successful and a boon for users on a global scale, had one major limitation as it cached only read data. LSI has had the intentions of including write caching into the structure of CacheCade as the product matured from the very onset. Today, that goal has been realized, and both read and write data is capable of being cached.

This truly is an amazing achievement, as other competing products (ex. MaxIQ from Adaptec) are limited to caching read data only. This puts LSI in an enviable position of offering something that other companies simply cannot.

SSDs have exploded into the data center realm as an extremely disruptive technology that is redefining storage performance and possibilities, not only for the users, but also for the manufacturers of RAID controllers and storage products. The ever-increasing demands for data in today's burgeoning data centers leaves them with few options, either continuing the safe and beaten path of 'inexpensive' exponential HDD array growth, or delving into the super accelerated and 'expensive' SSD realm. This can leave many with large databases and enterprise users 'caught in the middle' with large HDD arrays, yet needing more performance from their existing infrastructure. Cost and space constraints are always a concern, and that is the void that CacheCade aims to fill. The inclusions of both read and write caching is taking this technology further into the realm of a must-have for the users who are looking to actually reduce their costs, whilst boosting performance. Many still consider SSDs as far too expensive for integration into the data center, but that is one of the inherent issues that CacheCade Pro is looking to address with this technology. Vxr, which raid card are you using?

I certainly am NOT lsi. The BIOS update for the cards that are affected is out, to my knowledge. I am not sure of how to go about the key upgrade, but i can find out. This is the link to the changelog for the latest firmware for the 9260. It specifically says that it enables cachecade.'

Vxr, which raid card are you using?' LSI MR9260 series.

If you use Electronic License key, you don't need to care about this issue. LSI00248 is physical key, this physical key is only for CC Pro 2.0(Read only) service. At this time, CC Pro 2.0(Read/Write) service can't be activiated by using this physical key. Me: if I want to use CacheCade Pro 2.0(Write/Read) software service. Then I must replace the key with you. It's true????
