The Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching Series: 8X Faster IOPS and up to 70% cost savings
The performance potential of SSD caching is gaining notice in data centers and cloud computing environments around the globe. Now, the most efficient way of leveraging the performance power of SSDs in legacy infrastructures is more obvious than ever.

With new Adaptec MaxIQ products, IT departments can get the most out of SSDs by creating High-Performance Hybrid Arrays made up of SSDs and SATA/SAS HDDs to convert industry-standard servers into cost-effective, high-performance, scale-out application storage appliances.

Up to 8X faster than HDD-only arrays Adaptec MaxIQ SSD Caching Software introduces a patent-pending Learned-Path Algorithm that alleviates the bottleneck that can occur between server processors and hard drives by copying frequently-read data directly into an optimized SSD cache pool for faster retrieval in future requests. This lowers overall system latencies and greatly improves the system CPU-to-storage performance gap. Up to 70% lower capital expenses The improved system performance reduces capital and operating expenses by allowing data centers to increase the number of users hosted per system. By lessening the need for additional equipment, data centers can also significantly cut maintenance and support costs as well as energy consumption.

The MaxIQ Series: Flexible solutions for every application
The newly-expanded MaxIQ Series includes a variety of controllers, add-on kits, management dashboards and advanced settings with features designed to address a wide range of needs, including Intelligent Power Management (IPM) for energy-efficiency, Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection (ZMCP) for battery-free data protection, and the ability to use the SSD of your choice:

• Adaptec MaxIQ 2405Q: 4 internal port, low profile Unified Serial PCI Express (PCIe) controller with SSD Caching support, IPM, and hardware RAID. Cost-effective reliability and performance for entry-level applications. SSD not included.
  
  
• Adaptec MaxIQ 5805Q: 8 internal port, low profile Unified Serial PCIe controller with SSD Caching support, IPM, advanced data protection, and maximum scalability. SSD not included.
  
  
• Adaptec MaxIQ 5805ZQ: 8 internal port, low profile, Unified Serial PCIe controller with SSD Caching support, ZMCP, IPM, advanced data protection, and maximum scalability. SSD not included.
  
  
• Adaptec 32GB & 64GB MaxIQ SSD Cache Performance Kit: Add-on kits for Adaptec Series 2, Series 5 and Series 5Z Unified Serial Storage Controllers. Includes Adaptec SSD Caching Software and either a 32GB or 64GB Intel X-25E extreme SATA solid-state drive used as cache.
  
  

Easy integration
Ideal for data center and cloud computing environments with high “read” demands, such as web serving, file serving, and databases, Adaptec products in the MaxIQ family are application-agnostic and do not require changes to storage architectures, application software or operating systems. These products in the Adaptec MaxIQ Series drop into all industry-standard platforms, providing seamless compatibility with today’s off-the-shelf IT components.

MaxIQ reads hot data from the SSD cache and routes cold data to the HDDs for maximum performance.

Adaptec Intelligent Data Conditioning MaxIQ is the next stage in Adaptec’s Data Conditioning Platform – a strategic vision for developing new and better methods for intelligently routing, optimizing and protecting data as it moves through the I/O path.
