Adaptec Inc. announced the introduction of the Adaptec Series 5Z Unified Serial (SATA/SAS) RAID to its controller line.
Built on Adaptec’s RAID Series 5 architecture, Series 5Z controllers integrate a flash-based Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection (ZMCP) module that provides data center managers with a single controller solution for data protection in the event of both power loss and drive failure, the company said.
Designed to replace a current generation of Lithium Ion battery-based cache back-up devices, the Adaptec RAID Series 5Z is an integrated solid state solution that is designed to significantly reduce annual data center operating costs and environmental impacts.
