Product Description
The DACPGM RAID controller provides enhanced performance and reliability by incorporating EDO ECC error-correcting RAM, standard with every controller. The error-correcting RAM prevents corrupted data from being written to the disks, a problem which can sometimes occur in ordinary RAM. The DACPGM achieves its outstanding performance by combining an onboard Intel 960 RISC processor with Mylex's own high-performance firmware. The dedicated RISC processor offloads RAID management functions from the host CPU, resulting in higher RAID and server performance. To further raise the bar in reliability, the DAC -PGM includes Mylex-optimized battery backed cache, which can prevent data loss due to power failure. Unlike conventional battery backed cache implementations which only tolerate 24 hours of power outage, Mylex supports 72 hours. The Mylex firmware maintains its maximum battery performance by constantly monitoring battery condition and performing automatic drains and re-charges, when necessary.
