Computing
QLogic’s FabricCache 10000 Series Host Bus Adapters utilize a
flash-based server-side cache to optimize I/O between the server and
storage. This provides significant benefits to I/O-intensive
applications such as Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). IT
organizations can use QLE10000 to accelerate their RAC database
infrastructure, providing greater utilization, better I/O throughput
and reliability.

Oracle Real Application Clusters
Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) provides unbeatable fault
tolerance, performance, and scalability with no application changes
necessary. Oracle RAC is a cluster database with a shared buffer
cache architecture that overcomes the limitations of traditional
shared nothing and shared-disk approaches to provide a highly
scalable and available database solution for all your business
applications. Oracle RAC provides the foundation for private cloud

computing.
QLogic FabricCache 10000 Host Bus Adapter
QLogic’s QLE10000 is a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) with a serverside cache that seamlessly integrates with your SAN fabric. By
maintaining a server-side cache, frequently-accessed data is brought
closer to the server application. The QLE10000 supports virtually all
clustered and/or virtualized applications transparently, including
Oracle Real Application Clusters.
The QLE10000 is operating system independent, and functions like a
standard QLogic HBA.
Oracle RAC and QLE10000 – Extending Database Performance
By providing applications with the ability to spread their database
activity across multiple servers, RAC provides applications with data
access that is efficient, scalable, and fault tolerant. QLogic’s
QLE10000 caching Host Bus Adaptor provides RAC with I/O access
that is faster than always directly accessing the storage system across
a SAN fabric. This means that RAC workload on each node (server)
can scale further because disk I/O is less likely to become a
bottleneck for RAC.
