New Technology to Reduce Storage POWER
Old MAID Reduces application
performance for energy savings
“On-or-off” approach to energy savings
Usually only supported on SATA drives
Minutes to spin up components to respond to IO requests
Slow response confines use to just a few applications
AutoMAIDBenefits of MAID without
the limitations!
Energy savings with application performance “Green with Speed”
Supported on SAS and SATA drives
Three levels of energy savings
– Level 1, up to 20%
– Level 2, up to 40% (SATA only)
– Level 3, up to 60%
Fast response to 1st I/O requests
– Level 1, sub-second
– Level 2, less than 15 seconds
– Level 3, less than 30 seconds
Fast and flexible response broadens use to include a wide range of applications
