Portfolio richness A comprehensive portfolio of products ranging from entry RAID to enterpriseclass Flash-based controllers available as integrated and adapter form factors Upgrade features such as support for SED, performance optimization and caching with SSDs, and Features-on-Demand (FoD) Consistency Management of all products via the market-leading MegaRAID management umbrella, allowing clients to significantly reduce their qualification time, personnel training, and management overhead Easy transition to the new portfolio for clients migrating from the current generation of 6Gb controllers Flexibility An entire portfolio of building blocks that allows clients to design around a bottoms-up approach and caters to a wide array of storage requirements Over 3X granularity in offerings configurability to optimize client implementations Performance Optimized for high-performance SSDs with integration of Dual Core chip architecture, DDR3, and PCIe Gen 3 technologies Overview ServeRAID M-Series SAS/SATA Controllers for The IBM ServeRAID M-Series family of products offers a complete server storage solution consisting of RAID controllers, cache/flash modules, energy packs, and software feature upgrades in an ultra-flexible offerings structure. These products are optimized to deliver performance demanded by ever-growing I/ O requirements of today's enterprises. They integrate popular disk media such as SAS and SATA HDDs and emerging solid state disks into an organization's storage infrastructure.

2 The portfolio is designed around several base solutions with a set of upgrades that are rich with features, designed to minimize parts-on-the-floor, optimized for storage performance, and consistent with existing industry-leading ServeRAID products. ServeRAID M1115 offers a low-cost RAID 0/1/10 solution that can be upgraded to a cacheless RAID 5 with a Features-on-Demand license upgrade. ServeRAID M5110 and M5120 cap the top end of the spectrum with a superior array of features. While M5110 comes as a small form factor PCIe adapter, M5110e comes integrated with the 3650 M4 server. The M5120 is the external version of M5110 providing connectivity to external JBODs and also comes in a small form factor PCIe adapter. They share a common set of upgrades simplifying inventory management. Clients looking for added write performance can benefit from a 512MB cache module with a battery for cache protection. ServeRAID M5120, M5110, and M5110e also support 512 MB and 1 GB Flash-Backed-Cache-Offload modules allowing clients to have an extended-life energy source for cache protection in their storage subsystem. A set of Features-on-Demand license upgrades provide RAID 6/60 and performance optimization as well as caching with solid state media. Providing that additional peace of mind, your ServeRAID M-Series portfolio is covered under IBM warranty. All adapters and upgrade modules carry a one-year limited warranty or, when installed in a System x server, assume your system's base warranty and any IBM ServicePac upgrade.
