Lightning® Mixed-Use
6Gb/s SAS Enterprise Solid State Drives
The challenges for predictable performance and increased storage capacity are ever present in today’s data centers. MANAGERS are tasked to satisfy demand without new IT capital investment or the cost of increasing floor space. Enterprise SSDs provide substantial performance and footprint benefits over traditional HDDs. This enables IT service providers to replace hundreds of HDDs with a single SSD creating a more efficient and reliable network while reducing capital expenditures, space and energy consumption. Lightning SSDs rank among the most competitive solutions in the industry, offering unmatched speed with a history of successful implementations into existing IT infrastructures.

Since not all data centers are created equal, the key to achieving increased data and system performance is in understanding the specific application workload. Lightning Mixed-Use 6Gb/s (SAS) SSDs offer solid I/O cost-to-performance benefits where quick access to data is vital. Available in 200GB, 400GB and 800GB capacities, Lightning Mixed-Use SSDs provide an I/O pattern designed predominately for application workloads such as On-line TRANSACTION Processing (OLTP) Databases, Infrastructure, E-mail/Messaging, Virtual Desktop, and Collaboration, with a typical workload comprised of a 70/30 read/write mix.

Lightning SSDs deliver the industry’s leading I/O sustained performance with the most predictable performance profile across a wide range of workloads. Lightning Mixed-Use SSDs are designed with an advanced innovative controller that uses a parallel processing architecture to deliver proven and tested superior reliability for storage and server ENVIRONMENTS. Lightning SSDs have been specifically designed for demanding, mission-critical, 24/7 applications.
