PERC H830 DATA SHEET
POWEREDGE RAID
CONTROLLER H830
Eight-port (2- x4 connectors) external 12Gbps SAS solution for
performance-hungry external storage environments supporting
up to 192 SAS hard-disk or solid-state drives.
As storage demands expand and processing loads grow, it becomes increasingly more difcult for administrators to
achieve maximum performance and scale from their applications. The newest line of Dell EMC PERC cards, built on the
LSI® 3108 dual-core PowerPC® RAID-On-Chip (ROC), offers unmatched I/O performance for database applications and
streaming digital media environments.
The PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) H830, with eight external ports (2- x4 connectors), delivers two PowerPC
processor cores and a 72-bit DDR3 interface that drives 2GB cache memory. This controller is ideal for conguring
external storage enclosures with high-performance SAS hard drives and application-accelerating solid state drives. The
PERC H830 exploits the potential of 12Gbps SAS SSDs for unsurpassed performance and enterprise class reliability.
Enterprise data protection
Standard support for the most popular RAID levels, including RAID 5 and RAID 6, further strengthen the data protection
capabilities of the PERC H830. Dell EMC’s Flash Backed Cache or NV Cache technology allows protection of the cache
for a nearly unlimited period of time. The H830 also supports non-RAID mode (pass-through) for applications that manage
the storage independently.
Sophisticated DAS topologies
The PERC H830 can easily be connected and deployed within new 12Gb/s SAS environments to further simplify direct
attached storage (DAS) scale management and reduce single point of failures common in expanded DAS environments.
The PERC H830 is unique in that it offers higher levels of connectivity, simplied management and features and benets
typically available only in higher-end storage network congurations.
Intuitive RAID management
Managing the PERC H830 is easy using the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) with Lifecycle Controller. Without having to deploy an agent, IT
admins can congure, deploy, update, and monitor the PERC H830, via the GUI or
through Dell EMC’s CLI known as RACADM. Additionally, Dell EMC’s one-to-many
OpenManage console allows the user to perform storage operations across multiple
servers, including the RAID controllers as well as the physical disks in the PowerEdge system and external enclosures. Benets include:
• iDRAC automatically creates and executes jobs for each storage conguration
operation.
• Customer can do it Real-Time or schedule reboot for a later date.
• PERC H830 supports real-time RAID monitoring and hardware inventory.
Customers can also use Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator/ Storage Services (OMSS) tools to efciently manage PERC products, including a pre-boot setup
utilities and a full spectrum of online RAID management utilities. This suite of applications allow administrators to adjust SAS topology views from the system host down
to the logical and physical drive level. Extending to enterprise deployments, these
tools can scale to easily congure, monitor and manage RAID and JBOD volumes
locally or over the LAN network.
