Description
As storage demands expand and processing loads grow, it becomes increasingly more difficult for administrators to achieve maximum performance from their applications. The line of Dell PowerEdge RAID controller cards, built on the LSISA2208 dual-core PowerPC RAID-on-Chip (ROC), offer unmatched I/O performance for database applications and streaming digital media environments.
The PowerEdge RAID controller (PERC) H710P, with eight internal ports, delivers two PowerPC processor cores and a 72-bit DDR3 interface that drives 1 GB cache memory. You can deploy the PERC H710P in hard-drive-based server environments for significant performance gains. If you are implementing hybrid server platforms based on solid-state storage, these PERCs exploit the potential of solidstate drives (SSDs) for unsurpassed performance and enterprise-class reliability.

Enterprise data protection
Standard support for the most popular RAID levels and accessories, further strengthen the data-protection capabilities of the PERC H710P. Dell's NVCache technology backs up the data to nonvolatile storage in a power-loss event, and can store it safely for a nearly unlimited period of time. -
Intuitive RAID management utility
Dell OpenManage Storage Services (OMSS) provides the essential tools to efficiently manage PERC products, whether deployed in an enterprise or small business. Dell offers a collection of applications and tools, including a pre-boot setup utility and a full spectrum of online RAID management utilities. This suite of applications allow administrators to adjust SAS or SATA topology views from the system host, controller and disk enclosure down to the logical and physical drive level. Extending to enterprise deployments, these tools can scale to easily configure, monitor and manage RAID and JBOD volumes locally or over the LAN network.
