Smart Storage Performance,
Power, Security, and Reliability
With the massive growth of data centers, performance, power,
and reliability are more important considerations than ever.
Performance requirements are driven by both the increased
adoption of flash-based SSDs and the increasing sizes of
HDD arrays. Data centers are looking to take advantage
of the performance that these flash-based drives promise,
and require storage solutions that can deliver manageability
and data availability without compromising performance.
Power is a significant component of a data center’s
operating expenses. Optimizing power for cold storage
tiers in the data center, for example, delivers substantial
benefits to the bottom line.
Data security has become one of the highest priorities for data
centers and cloud computing environments as enterprises
seek to safeguard customer information, classified company
documentation and communications, financial records,
employee payroll records, and other confidential data.
As more mission-critical data finds its way to data centers,
end customers insist on reduced downtime, improved
response times to issues, and a more positive end-user
experience overall.
The Microsemi Adaptec SmartRAID 3100, SmartHBA 2100,
and HBA 1100 product families are based on the company’s
latest 28nm SmartIOC 2100 and SmartROC 3100 storage
controller integrated circuits (ICs). The SmartRAID 3162-8i /e
adapter includes maxCrypto, the industry’s only data-at-rest
controller-based encryption solution that, provides a superior
solution over self-encrypting drives. Microsemi's unified Smart
Storage stack powers the entire family of products, leveraging
core IP that has shipped in over 30 million servers. Microsemi's
Smart Storage stack delivers one of the industry’s most reliable
and highest-performing storage controller software platforms.
Microsemi’s new Smart Storage adapters satisfy the
most important needs of the modern data center: power,
performance, security, and reliability.

Technology Leadership with Data Encryption
Data security has become one of the highest priorities for
data centers and cloud computing environments as they
seek to safeguard customer information, classified company
documentation and communications, financial records,
employee payroll records, and other confidential data.
Solutions for data-at-rest encryption are now a security
requirement in many market segments such as health care,
finance, e-commerce, federal government branches, and
insurance—representing a significant overall percentage
of the deployed storage. In fact, government legislation is
now in place mandating data security and privacy, such
as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act, Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act, Sarbanes–Oxley Act, and
the European Union General Data Protection Regulation.
Data center managers face the challenge of safeguarding
data while still meeting continually-increasing performance
demands for large-scale applications such as web serving,
file serving, databases, online transaction processing
(OLTP), machine learning, and high-performance computing
(HPC). Encryption is a method of encoding information
so that it can only be read by using the proper key.
The
encryption process can be software-based or hardware-based.
While the CPU is responsible for powering software-based
encryption, hardware-based encryption is performed within
a chip located on the drive itself or on the storage adapter.
Software encryption comes at the expense of valuable CPU
resources. Self-encrypting drives offer a high performance
hardware-based solution but require significant operational
overhead and do not provide the security and flexibility
of controller-based encryption.
Available on the SmartRAID 3162-8i /e version of the
Smart Storage series of storage adapters, maxCrypto
hardware encryption delivers data protection with little
to no impact on latency or I/O performance. Leveraging
the SmartROC 3100 RAID-on-Chip (RoC) controller, the
Smart Storage maxCrypto solution integrates seamlessly into
existing storage infrastructures allows data centers to deploy
a uniform, scalable encryption strategy across the enterprise.

Microsemi Adaptec SmartHBA 2100
The SmartHBA 2100 series is part of the Smart Storage
Solutions family, forged through the convergence of Microsemi
SAS/SATA protocol controller expertise, more than 30 years of
Microsemi board innovation, and the new Smart Storage stack.
The SmartHBA 2100 series uniquely combines the capabilities
of a full-featured HBA, like the HBA 1100, with those of a basic
hardware RAID adapter. With an optimal mix of resiliency,
efficiency, and ease-of-use, it adds the robustness of true host-
offloading hardware RAID, offers open-source driver compatibility,
and comes with a full set of storage management tools.
Resiliency, Efficiency, and Data Availability
The SmartHBA 2100 is an ideal solution for server-based storage
systems that require maximum bandwidth and I/O connectivity,
low power consumption, high reliability, plus options for data
availability. The Smart Software stack even allows a combination
of RAID and raw devices. This is useful in SDS environments
where hardware RAID significantly increases OS boot reliability,
but full HBA features and performance are otherwise needed.
The SmartHBA 2100 offers over 40 percent power savings
compared to prior generations and significant power
advantages over competing solutions, giving it the lowest
total cost of ownership (TCO) for an HBA/basic RAID solution.
It delivers a robust and scalable solution that can handle
the toughest system workloads and configurations, from an
array of high-performance SSDs to high-capacity HDDs. The
SmartHBA 2100 can be used with or without SAS expanders.
Maximum Performance
The SmartHBA 2100 series provides the highest levels of storage
performance and scalability for next-generation data centers.
The SmartHBA 2100 provides connectivity to large numbers
of storage devices, including HDDs, SSDs, and SMR drives.
These adapters can aggregate the performance of devices
to the limits of the PCIe Gen3 host bus at 6.6 Gbps, and achieve
up to 1.7M IOPS and 60 percent higher IOPS performance with
SATA devices without additional overhead or latency.

such as Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct, VMWare vSAN, and
OpenStack Swift/Ceph.
Maximum Performance
The HBA 1100 series provides the highest levels of storage
performance and scalability for next-generation data centers.
Using the new SmartPQI host OS device drivers that are
optimized for low latency solid-state drives, HBA 1100
adapters can aggregate the performance of devices to the
limits of the PCIe Gen3 host bus at 6.6 Gbps, and achieve
up to 1.7M IOPS and 60 percent higher IOPS performance
with SATA devices without additional overhead or latency.
The HBA 1100-24i, with 24 internal ports, delivers the lowest
latency and highest performance when connected to SSDs,
with no need for expanders in most rack server applications.

SAS Expander Card
Microsemi Adaptec SAS Expander Card
The 12 Gbps 82885T SAS expander card offers a scalable
connectivity/fanout option for additional drives when used
in conjunction with a SAS RAID adapter or SAS HBA. The
82885T SAS expander card offers 36 ports in a low-profile
MD2 form factor. Of the 28 internal ports, four ports are
dedicated for a controller, and the rest are available for
connection to SAS or SATA drives. The eight external
ports are available for optional connections to external
JBODs or a SAS adapter.
Configuration Flexibility
The 82885T mounts internally to any available PCIe slot, away
from the backplane, and features mini-SAS HD connectors
out the top for cabling flexibility in dense server environments.
The 82885T enables a low-cost drive expansion solution when
mated with a RAID adapter or HBA. The expander draws
power from the PCIe slot (requires 4 or more lanes), but there
is no data transfer to the slot. Alternatively, power can also
be supplied to the expander card through a standard 4-pin
auxiliary power connector.
Enclosure Management Support
The 82885T supports SGPIO and SES2 enclosure management,
allowing enclosure information to be routed from all daisy-chained
82885T cards to the HBA or RAID adapter. All device and slot
mapping information is provided to the HBA or RAID adapter
by the last 82885T card in the chain.
Universal Compatibility with
Existing Storage Infrastructure
The 82885T is fully compatible with Microsemi Adaptec
12 Gbps and 6 Gbps RAID adapters and HBAs, allowing
seamless integration and management within an
end-to-end Microsemi Adaptec solution. The 82885T
is also compatible with third-party adapters and HBAs,
and has also been tested for interoperability with a wide
variety of SAS and SATA HDDs and SSDs.
