IBM Europe, Middle East, and AfricaHardware Announcement ZG09-0169IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 8These Intel Xeon processors with up to 8 MB L2 cache feature Intel Coremicroarchitecture with increased overall performance, greater energy efficiency,and more responsive multitasking. They help reduce thermal burdens in serverdatacenters.ServeRAID-MR10is VAULT - 44E8695ServeRAID-MR10is VAULT is a RAID controller with built-in crypto engine to encryptdata written to the hard drives. With an easy-to-use GUI it simplifies the complexityof key management, setup, and configuration.This leading-edge implementation enables lower cost for securing stored data. Thiscontroller is applicable for the following usage scenarios:• Helps protect sensitive data against theft– In an unsecure physical environment– From insiders in a secure location• Helps during drive disposal or redeployment, helping protect against unauthorizedaccess• Enhanced encryption security and performance over software encryption solutionsSensitive data includes patient records in doctor's offices, hospitals, and insurancecompanies, credit card or transaction data at retail stores and restaurants, bankrecords, personnel records, intellectual property, financial records, and others.ServeRAID-MR10is VAULT SAS/SATA Controller is a PCIe RAID controller with storeddata encryption for Internal System RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60. This full-height, half-length adapter utilizes an LSI 1078DE controller with an x8 PCI Expresshost interface, eight internal SAS/SATA II 3 Gb/s ports, and battery-backed 256MB 72-bit ECC DDR2 cache. MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM), included withServeRAID-MR10is, is a robust RAID and encryption management, configuration,and reporting application. The included battery enhances the ServeRAID-10iscontroller's performance by allowing data written to disk to be cached in battery-backed high-speed memory. The battery provides protection of cached data duringan unexpected power outage.The ServeRAID-MR10M SAS/SATA PCIe Controllers (44E8825) are covered bya one-year, Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU), limited warranty. Batteries areconsumables; therefore, not covered under this warranty.Note: Hot-swap models have eitther a BR10i or MR10i and both contain twoServeRAIDTM connectors. Simple-swap models don't contain any ServeRAIDconnectors.Features, functions, and benefits include:• SAS/SATA II• PCIe x8 bus• RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60• Stored data encryption• Fixed 256 MB 72-bit BBU DDR2 cache memory• Up to 72 hours cache backup with optional battery• 2 x4 internal mini-SAS SFF-8087 connectors• Up to 3 Gb/second of performance throughput for each port• LSI 1078DE controller• Global hot spare and rebuild• Supported utilities: MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM), IBM Director, DynamicSystems Analysis (DSA), Command Line Interface (CLI), and flash drive
