Standard Features

What is an IO Accelerator?

The IO Accelerator is an PCIe card-based, advanced storage device that uses solid state storage technology directly on the PCI bus, assuring high read and write data rates and accelerated application performance. The associated application performance improvements will have a positive impact on business results and the ability to accelerate IO-bound workloads like databases, virtualization and data analytics, resulting in significant cost and time savings.

Single Level Cell and Multilevel Cell	NAND technology uses flash memory cells to store data. Single level Cell (SLC) stores one bit per cell, while Multi-level Cell (MLC) uses two bits per cell. While MLC can store more data within each device, it has lower endurance characteristics than SLC.

IO and Read/Write Performance	HP PCIe IO Accelerators offer superior IO performance up to 892,000 READ IOPS and 935,000 WRITE IOPS, and high throughput up to 3.0 GB/s READ and up to 2.5 GB/s WRITE.

Latency	HP PCIe IO Accelerators offer very low latency access to data, as low as 15 microseconds to write a 4K block and as low as 68 microseconds to read a 4K block. In other words, a virtually zero seek time compared to rotating magnetic media.

RAM Requirements	The amount of free RAM required by the driver depends on the size of the blocks used when writing to the drive. The smaller the blocks, the more RAM required. Here are the guidelines for each 100GB of storage:
	Average Block Size (bytes)	System RAM usage (Megabytes) per 100GB of storage for Driver version 2.x and 3.x
	8,192	280MB
	4,096 (most common)	530MB
	2,048	1030MB
	1,024	2,000MB
	512	3,970MB

Manageability	Command Line (CLI) tools for both Linux and Windows to configure, monitor, and upgrade firmware SNMP Agent and System Management Homepage provided for Linux and Windows. ioManager GUI for Windows and Linux.

PCI IDs	Vendor & Device ID 1AED:1005; Subsystem Vendor & Device ID 103C:324E

Upgradeability	The controller for the HP IO Accelerators can be upgraded in the future with new firmware. Online firmware update tools are available for all supported operating systems.

Wear-leveling	NAND Flash devices use semiconductor technology that has a finite number of data that can be written to the device, defined as the Maximum Lifetime. Projected lifetime of the NAND storage due to wear-out varies with type of NAND and amount of writes to the device.

Maximum usage	ioDrive		ioDrive Duo
	160GB	320GB	320GB	640GB	1.28TB
	75 PB writes	4 PB writes	150 PB	8 PB writes	8 PB writes
	ioDrive2		ioDrive2 Duo
	365GB	785GB	1205GB	2410GB
	4 PB written	11 PB written	17 PB written	34 PB written
	NOTE: Subject to maximum usage limitations. Parts and components that have exceeded their maximum supported lifetime and/or the maximum usage limitations. Maximum supported lifetime-the period in years set to equal the warranty for the device. Maximum usage limit-This is the maximum amount of data that can be written to the device before write burn-out.

Data Integrity	Using advanced ECC techniques, the HP IO Accelerators can correct up to 11 bits out of every 240 bytes, with a design target of a 1 in 10 to the 20th Power probability of uncorrectable data and a 1 in 10 to the 30th Power probability of undetected bad data.

OS Support	RHEL 4,5,6 (64-bit support only)
	SLES 10, 11 (64-bit support only)
	Windows Server x86-64 2003, 2008 (64-bit support only)
	Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (OEL 5)
	CentOS
	VMware ESX 4.0 Update 1
	NOTE: The HP IO Accelerators are currently not supported as boot devices.

Configurations	Mixing of capacities is allowed, OS RAID

Warranty

3/0/0 warranty; Customer Self Repair (CSR) Subject to maximum usage limitations (Please see note under Additional Services Information).
