Super Size Cache (SSC) using Solid State Devices (SSD) as controller cache allows for
very large data sets to be present in that cache to improve overall application performance.
SSC anticipate up to a five times performance improvement in READ-intensive
applications and provide maximum IOPs.
This solution is ideal for cost sensitive server environments, by offering a high-
performance upgrade that requires only a small investment in SSD technology. This
solution also reduces the need to invest expensive IT cycles to hand-tune applications
running on hard drive-only disk arrays.
Detailed Configuration steps are as follows:
1. Select the Dashboar
d view. Click Create super sized cache (SSC) in the Actions
tab; Or right click the RAID Controller and select Create SSCD (Super Sized
Cache Drive).
