Microsemi Adaptec® HBA 1100 Series: 1100-24i/16i/16e/8i8e/8i/8e/4i
12 Gbps PCIe Gen3 SAS/SATA Host Bus Adapter
Smart Storage and Connectivity
Today’s data centers and enterprises need storage solutions that can
keep pace with their rapid data expansion. The HBA 1100 is a product
in the Smart Storage solutions family, forged through the convergence of
Microsemi's SAS/SATA protocol controller expertise, more than 30years
of Microsemi board innovation, and the new Smart Storage stack. The
HBA1100Series, available in five different configurations with up to
24internal SAS/SATA ports, offers a large number of density options
in a low-profile, MD2 form factor. It delivers the smart connectivity that
businesses are looking for, with high resiliency, low power, and the
performance required to unlock the capabilities of flash media.
Resiliency and Efficiency
The HBA 1100 delivers enterprise resiliency with its broadly deployed
Smart Storage stack. Based on the PM8222 8x12G SmartIOC 2100
SAS/SATA protocol controller, the HBA1100Series provides a robust
and stable solution that can handle the toughest system workloads and
configurations. It offers over 40 percent power savings compared to
previous generations, and significant power advantages versus competing
solutions. It is fully tools-compatible with existing and future Microsemi
HBA, RAID, and expander solutions.
Optimized for New Devices and New Use Cases
The HBA 1100 supports SMR HDDs and their specific command sets
(ZAC/ZBC for SAS/SATA SMR drives), enabling cost-efficient solutions for
warm and cold storage applications. It also supports the latest SAS and
SATA SSDs. The HBA1100 is also optimized for software-defined storage
solutions, such as Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct, VMWare vSAN, and
OpenStack Swift/Ceph.
Maximum Performance
The HBA 1100 Series provides the highest levels of storage performance
and scalability for next-generation data centers. Using the new SmartPQI
host OS device drivers that are optimized for low latency solid-state drives,
HBA 1100 adapters can aggregate the performance of devices to the limits
of the PCIe Gen3 host bus at 6.6 Gbps, and achieve up to 1.7M IOPS and
60percent higher IOPS performance with SATA devices without additional
overhead or latency.1 The HBA1100-24i, with 24internal ports, delivers the
lowest latency and highest performance when connected to SSDs, with no
need for expanders in most rack server applications.
Ease of Use
The HBA 1100, with its broad operating system support and ecosystem
compatibility, is easy to implement and scale, connecting up to 24 storage
devices. The unified maxView management tools and drivers across the
Microsemi HBA, RAID, and expander solutions enable easy manageability
across the entire product line.
Benefits
• A 4- to 24-port HBA family, ideal for server
solutions supporting SAS/SATA HDDs, tape
devices, and SSDs that require maximum
connectivity, bandwidth, and I/O performance
• Performance of up to 1.7M IOPS, low latency,
and low CPU utilization fully saturating the x8
PCIe Gen3 host bus
• Inbox drivers and broad operating system
support and device and platform capability
provides a single solution for servers, and all
device connectivity needs
Highlights
• Up to 24 native SAS/SATA ports; low-profile/
MD2 form factor
• 12 Gbps SAS data rates using mini-SAS HD
connectors
• Quality and reliability through the unified,
hardened Smart Storage stack, which is
deployed in over 30M servers
• Proven compatibility and seamless integration
with existing Microsemi Adaptec solutions that
leverage the unified maxView management
tool suite for remote and local setup and
maintenance
• Uses the latest 28nm SmartIOC 2100
SAS/SATA protocol controller to drive efficiency
and performance while also having the
industry's lowest power consumption
1
16- and 24-port adapters can achieve 1.7M random read IOPS for 4 KB I/Os. Adapters with 8 ports and fewer are
capable of 1.5M IOPS
