Using SSD/HDD hybrid arrays, the Adaptec MaxIQ™ SSD Cache Performance Kit allows I/O intensive data centers and cloud computing environments to convert industry-standard servers into cost-effective, high-performance, scale-out application storage appliances.

Ideal for web, file, and database servers, MaxIQ combines Intel®-powered SSD cache with MaxIQ SSD Caching Software.  This application-agnostic caching does not require changes to storage architectures, application software or operating systems.

Up to 8X faster than HDD-only solutions
MaxIQ Caching Software introduces a patent-pending Learned-Path Algorithm that identifies frequently-read (“hot”) data, and optimizes “reads” by copying this data directly into an SSD cache pool for faster data access and lower overall system latencies, greatly improving the system CPU to storage performance gap. 

Reduce capital & operating costs by up to 70%
MaxIQ reduces capital expenses by increasing IOPS with less hardware (fewer servers) — thereby significantly cutting energy and maintenance costs.

Pair the MaxIQ SSD Cache Performance Kit with any Adaptec Series 5Z, Series 5, or Series 2 Unified Serial® (SATA/SAS) storage controller for a cost-effective, scalable hybrid solution that can deliver the highest IOPS per dollar, at the lowest cost per gigabyte.
