The IBM ServeRAID MR10ie (CIOv) controller is a high-performance PCIe RAID controller expansion card for BladeCenter for on-board and external Direct Attached Storage RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60. It offers a high-performance BladeCenter host bus for attachment, with battery-backed memory cache, and utilizes an LSI 1078 RAID-on-Chip (ROC) controller for support of up to 26 hard drives (on-board and external).This expansion card form factor (CIOv) adapter with battery-backed memory cache utilizes an LSI 1078 controller for support with up to 26 disk drives. This controller is ideal for supporting server and workgroup applications where high levels of sustained read and write operations are required. The ServeRAID MR10ie Controller ships with a battery module that enhances its performance by allowing data being written to disk to be cached in battery-backed high-speed memory. The battery can help provide protection of cached data during an unexpected power outage.Reliability and fault-tolerance capability for supporting server mission-critical applications where high levels of sustained read and write operations are required, such as video streaming, Web content, video-on-demand, security and surveillance, fixed content, and reference data storage.The IBM ServeRAID MR10ie helps provide investment protection by supporting up to 26 total drives on planar SAS drives and external SAS/SATA hard drive configurations for server storage. IBM's SCM software application is available for RAID management, configuration, and reporting.
