9361-16i
High Port Count 12Gb/s PCI Express SATA + SAS RAID Controller
Unlock Storage Performance with Avago 12Gb/s SAS Solutions
The explosive growth of data in cloud and enterprise data centers is driving the need for a higher performance storage interface to speed the ability of critical applications to access data. Avago 12Gb/s SAS solutions are designed to deliver the performance and data protection capabilities required for the most demanding next-generation server and storage platforms. O ering up to double the data transfer rate of 6Gb/s SAS solutions, 12Gb/s SAS allows the SAS infrastructure to deliver bandwidth that can fully utilize that of PCI Express 3.0 with a single controller card.
Next-Generation High Port Count SAS RAID
The Avago MegaRAID® SAS 9361-16i, with sixteen internal ports in a lowprofile form factor, delivers two 1.2GHz PowerPC processor cores and a 72-bit DDR3 interface that drives 2GB cache memory. Powered by the SAS3316 dual-core ROC, with 16 native SAS/SATA ports, the 9361-16i controller can take full advantage of the latest PCI Express 3.0 interface to provide higher performance and increased throughput. The 12Gb/s MegaRAID SAS 9361-16i is designed for configuring high-density storage servers with up to 16 drives via direct connection inside the box or up to 240 drives by leveraging SAS expander technology.
Enterprise Data Protection
The Avago MegaRAID SAS 9361-16i RAID controller supports data retention by using NAND flash memory down on the controller, backed up by a CacheVault Power Module 02 (CVPM02). The CVPM02 module is a supercapacitor pack that provides power for the backup of your data in case
of host power loss or server failure. The CVPM02 module is connected to the controller remotely by cable. The data is backed up to the NAND flash memory on the MegaRAID controller board.
Standard support for the most popular RAID levels, including RAID 5 and RAID 6, further strengthens the data protection capabilities of the
MegaRAID SAS 9361-16i. A new enterprise feature employed by the 12Gb/s MegaRAID SAS controllers is advanced drive diagnostic technology. In the event of a physical drive failure, the drive is placed in shield state and the MegaRAID controller starts drive diagnostics to determine if the drive is indeed failed or can be restored. This saves customers time, money and lost compute time associated with transient drive failures and unnecessary drive returns.
