Dell’s high-performance, next-generation PowerEdge™ RAID Controller H730 brings a doubling of IOPs performance along with 12Gbps SAS support and enhanced options for managing and configuring storage.

As storage demands expand and processing loads grow, it becomes increasingly more difficult for administrators to achieve maximum performance from their applications. The newest line of PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) cards, built on the LSI SAS3108 dual-core PowerPC RAID-on-Chip (ROC), offer unmatched I/O performance for database applications and streaming digital media environments.

The PERC H730P, with eight internal ports, delivers two PowerPC processor cores and a 72-bit DDR3 interface that drives 2GB non-volatile cache memory. You can deploy the PERC H730P in hard-drive-based server environments for significant performance gains. If you are implementing hybrid server platforms based on solid-state storage, these next-generation PERCs exploit the potential of solid-state drives (SSDs) for unsurpassed performance and enterprise-class reliability.

Enterprise data protection - Standard support for the most popular RAID levels and accessories, including RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 50, RAID 60 and NVCache, further strengthen the data protection capabilities of the PERC H730P. Dell’s NVCache technology backs up data to non-volatile memory in a power-loss event and can store it safely for a nearly unlimited period of time.

Description:

DELL PERC H730P X4TTX 12GB/S 2GB PCI-E3.0 Adapter Raid Card 

Features:

Intuitive RAID management - Managing the PERC H730P is easy with the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) with Lifecycle Controller. Without having to deploy an agent, IT admins can configure, deploy, update, and monitor the PERC H730P, via the GUI or through Dell’s CLI known as RACADM. With the release of iDRAC7 firmware 1.50.50 and beyond, you have the ability to perform storage operations through the Racadm interface. This includes RAID controllers as well as physical disks in the PowerEdge system and external enclosures.

• iDRAC will create jobs and automatically execute them for each storage configuration operation.
• Offers you the option to reboot the host OS automatically to complete jobs or wait and do it at a later, more convenient time.
• Supports real-time RAID monitoring and inventory of hardware RAID connected to the server.
