Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller H730P
Eight-port 12Gbps PCI Express (PCIe) RAID controller supporting 3Gbps, 6Gbps and 12Gbps SAS or SATA hard-disk or solid-state drives.
As storage demands expand and processing loads grow, it becomes increasingly more difficult for administrators to achieve maximum performance from their applications. The newest line of
Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller cards, built on the LSI® SAS 3108 dual-core PowerPC® RAID-on- Chip (ROC), offer unmatched I/O performance for database applications and streaming digital media environments.
The PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) H730P, with eight internal ports, delivers two PowerPC processor cores and a 72-bit DDR3 interface that drives 2GB non-volatile cache memory. Deploy the PERC H730P in hard-drive-based server environments for significant performance gains. To implement hybrid server platforms based on solid-state storage, these next-generation PERCs exploit the potential of solidstate drives (SSDs) for unsurpassed performance and enterprise-class reliability.
Benefits include:
•iDRAC automatically creates and executes jobs for each storage configuration operation
•Customer can reboot the host OS automatically or schedule reboot for a later date.
•PERC H730P supports real-time RAID monitoring and hardware inventory.
iDRAC incorporates Dell OpenManage™ Storage
Services (OMSS) to provide the tools to efficiently manage PERC products, including a pre-boot setup utility and a full spectrum of online RAID management utilities. This suite of applications allows administrators to adjust SAS or SATA topology views from the system host down to the logical and physical drive level. Extending to enterprise deployments, these tools can scale to easily configure, monitor and manage RAID and JBOD volumes locally or over the LAN network.
Enterprise data protection
Standard support for the most popular RAID levels and accessories, including RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 50, RAID 60 and NV Cache, further strengthen the data protection capabilities of the PERC H730P. Dell’s NV Cache technology backs up the data to non-volatile memory in a power-loss event and can store it safely
for a nearly unlimited period of time.
Intuitive RAID management
Managing the PERC H730P is easy using the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller. Without having to deploy an agent, IT admins can configure, deploy, update and monitor the PERC H730P via the GUI or Dell’s CLI (known as RACADM). Additionally, Dell’s one- to-many OpenManage Essentials console allows a user to perform storage operations across multiple servers, including RAID controllers as well as physical disks in the PowerEdge system and external enclosures.
