Key Features
The 9560-8i Tri-Mode RAID Controller is meticulously engineered to deliver unparalleled flexibility and dependable data protection for mixed enterprise storage environments. Powered by the advanced Broadcom SAS3908 RAID-on-Chip (RoC) processor, this adapter natively integrates SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives into a single unified storage architecture, eliminating the need for separate dedicated controllers.
Core Specifications and Massive Scalability
Tri-Mode Storage Interface: Effortlessly supports the simultaneous operation of NVMe, SAS, and SATA devices. It offers massive scalability, allowing administrators to connect up to 240 SAS/SATA hard drives or up to 32 high-performance NVMe solid-state drives per controller card.
High-Speed Architecture: Features a high-bandwidth PCIe Gen4 x8 host interface paired with 4GB of high-speed DDR4 cache memory. This powerful combination ensures rapid data processing and smooth sustained throughput for the most demanding enterprise workloads.
Comprehensive RAID Support: Hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 are fully supported, empowering IT teams to precisely balance maximum read/write performance with critical data redundancy and fault tolerance.
Physical Design and Disaster Recovery
Designed with a low-profile physical footprint and side-exit cabling connectors, the 9560-8i provides a highly installation-friendly routing experience. The secure, tactile click of the interface cables ensures a firm connection, perfectly matching the compact internal space of high-density 1U and 2U rackmount servers without restricting crucial airflow.
For enterprise-grade reliability, the controller boasts an impressive Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) exceeding 3 million hours. It integrates directly with the optional CacheVault flash cache protection module (CVPM05). Utilizing advanced supercapacitor technology, CacheVault delivers long-life, maintenance-free protection, securely transferring cached data to non-volatile flash memory the instant an unexpected power loss occurs.
Furthermore, the unit is engineered to operate flawlessly in wide temperature ranges from 0°C to 55°C. It strictly complies with global safety and environmental standards, holding FCC, CE, and RoHS certifications for rigorous, compliant data center deployments.
Competitive Advantages
Compared to traditional legacy SAS controllers, the 9560-8i offers a transformative approach to modern data center storage. By consolidating SAS, SATA, and NVMe protocols onto a single adapter card, it drastically reduces hardware complexity, minimizes points of failure, and offers superior flexibility for streamlining future storage expansion projects.
The transition to the PCIe Gen4 architecture marks a significant milestone in storage performance. This advanced interface effectively doubles the available bandwidth compared to previous PCIe 3.0 solutions. This massive throughput increase, combined with drastically lower latency, fully unlocks the latent performance capabilities of modern NVMe solid-state drives. In practical terms, this translates directly into accelerated database queries, smoother high-density virtualization environments, and highly responsive enterprise applications that require instantaneous data retrieval.
Advanced Interconnectivity and Ecosystem Management
Backplane Integration | The controller utilizes the new SlimSAS (SFF-8654) interface standard. It provides comprehensive compatibility with modern U.2 and U.3 drive backplanes, as well as the Universal Backplane Management (UBM) framework, allowing it to blend flawlessly into existing data center architectures with minimal cabling clutter. |
System Compatibility | Ensures extensive, out-of-the-box support across major operating systems, including various enterprise distributions of Windows, Linux, and VMware virtualization platforms, ensuring a frictionless deployment process. |
Simplified IT Operations | Administrators benefit from Broadcom's suite of enterprise-grade storage management software tools, such as LSA (LSI Storage Authority) and StorCLI. These intuitive utilities streamline array configuration, continuous health monitoring, and routine IT maintenance tasks, ensuring excellent long-term investment protection. |
