Ciprico

RAIDCore by Ciprico is a leading RAID solution for business-class SAS and SATA-II platforms that require superior reliability, performance and scalability. Leveraging the industry’s latest generation of server and multi-core processors, RAIDCore offers unmatched RAID performance and scalability, an ultra-small form factor and very low-power consumption.

Controller spanning, Online capacity expansion (OCE), Online RAID-level migration (ORLM) and low power consumption are just some of the features that set RAIDCore apart from the competition. Most RAID controllers carry the additional costs of an onboard processor, memory, battery back up and fan. RAIDCore’s unique ability to leverage the power of the host processor with a robust software application gives you greater performance, flexibility and capacity for a fraction of the cost of current hardware RAID solutions. There is also a common graphical user interface (GUI) regardless of operating system deployed.

Today’s RAID Facts:

  • RAID of tomorrow is moving to host based virtualization. Hardware RAID controllers will die out like yesterday’s analog modems, sound cards and graphics cards.
  • Today’s multi-core CPU’s are not being utilized – why would any customer pay for additional CPU’s on a RAID controller?
  • RAIDCore solutions cost up to 50% less than comparable Hardware RAID controllers
  • RAIDCore’s intelligent software offers the lowest Total Cost of Ownership for your customer:
    • Runs cooler with a 60% decrease in power
    • Easy to configure and manage - Less tech support calls to you!
    • Features that Hardware RAID can’t match
