QLogic’s FabricCache 10000 Series Host Bus Adapters utilize a flash-
based server-side cache, to optimize I/O between the server and storage.
FabricCache provides significant benefits to I/O-intensive applications such
as Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). The QLE10000 will accelerate
your RAC database infrastructure, providing greater utilization, better I/O
throughput and reliability. The combination of Oracle RAC and
FabricCache provides both clustered database cache and on-server storage
cache, resulting in a substantial increase in data access performance, while
providing a reduction in storage resource utilization.
What is Oracle Real Application Clusters?
Oracle Real Application Clusters supports the transparent deployment of a
single database across pools of servers, providing fault tolerance from
hardware failures or planned outages. Oracle RAC provides Oracle’s
highest level of capability in terms of availability, scalability, and low-cost
computing.
What are QLogic FabricCache Adapters?
The QLogic 10000 Series FabricCache 8Gb Fibre Channel Adapter is a
ground-breaking enterprise-ready solution that combines QLogic's market-
leading Fibre Channel adapter, intelligent caching and I/O management
with connectivity to a server-based PCIe flash card to dramatically increase
application performance. The QLogic FabricCache Adapter caches SAN
data to accelerate server I/O access, and provides shared caching for
clustered, virtualized, and distributed workloads across the data center.
