Using SSD/HDD hybrid arrays, the Adaptec MaxIQ™ SSD Cache Performance Kit allows I/O-intensive data centres and cloud computing environments to convert industry-standard servers into cost-effective, high-performance, scale-out application storage appliances.

Ideal for web, file and database servers, MaxIQ combines Intel®-powered SSD cache with MaxIQ SSD caching software. This application-agnostic caching does not require changes to storage architectures, application software or operating systems.

Up to 5x faster than HDD-only solutions
MaxIQ caching software introduces a patent-pending Learned-Path Algorithm that identifies frequently-read (“hot”) data, and optimises “reads” by copying this data directly into an SSD cache pool for faster retrieval in future requests. 

Reduce capital & operating expenses by up to 50%
MaxIQ reduces capital expenses by increasing IOPs with less hardware – thereby significantly cutting energy and maintenance costs.

Pair the MaxIQ SSD Cache Performance Kit with any Adaptec Series 5Z, Series 5 or Series 2 Unified Serial® (SATA/SAS) storage controller for a cost-effective, scalable hybrid solution that can deliver the highest IOPs per pound investment, at the lowest pounds per gigabyte.
