P721m/2G FBWC. The HP SmartCache architecture is flexible and supports any HP ProLiant Gen8
supported HDD for bulk storage and any HP ProLiant Gen8 supported SSD as an accelerator.
The basic HP SmartCache architecture is comprised of the following three elements:
Bulk storage:
The first element is the bulk storage device, which is any supported HDD attached to
the HP Smart Array controller.
Accelerator
: The second element, the accelerator, is a faster/lower latency SSD device that caches
data.
Metadata:
The final element is metadata, information held in a relatively small storage area that
maps the location of information residing on the accelerator and bulk storage devices.
HP SmartCache is deployed and managed through the same management tool for HP Smart Array - the HP
Array Configuration Utility (ACU). For more information please visit
