Advanced Performance Features

- Multiple caching policy support:

- Write-back (maximum write performance) and write-through (data pro-

tection in the event of application freeze).

- Predictive read ahead caching based on application and data types.

- Packet commands and interrupt coalescing minimize interrupts for better per-

formance.

- Elevator seek streamlines commands based on where data is located on the disk

- Load balancing (mirrored RAID array only).

■

Promise Array Management

- Creates, deletes, expands, and converts disk arrays remotely

- Array synchronization and rebuild scheduling

- Displays drive and array status

- Monitors enclosure status and provides online event logging

- E-mail notification of disk, array, controller or enclosure events (e.g. error or

degrade conditions)
