New Technology to Reduce Storage POWER

Old MAID Reduces application performance

for energy savings

“On-or-off” approach to energy savings

Usually only supported on SATA drives

Minutes to spin up components to respond to IO requests

Slow response confines use to just a few applications

AutoMAIDBenefits of MAID without the limitations! Energy savings with application performance “Green with

Speed”

Supported on SAS and SATA drives

Three levels of energy savings

– Level 1, up to 20%

– Level 2, up to 40% (SATA only)

– Level 3, up to 60%

Fast response to 1st I/O requests

– Level 1, sub-second

– Level 2, less than 15 seconds

– Level 3, less than 30 seconds

Fast and flexible response broadens use to include a wide range of applications
