Adaptec MaxIQ Tested with Improved Performance in MySQL

By Rajani Baburajan, TMCnet Contributor


Adaptec, a provider of datacenter I/O solutions, has announced that its new MaxIQ SSD Cache Performance Solution in MySQL environments has been tested by AppLabs and was found to improve read and write throughput by eight times as well as increase transactions per second by 6.9 times when compared with a non-cached environment.


The MaxIQ SSD Cache Performance solution integrates up to four tuned 32GB Intel (News - Alert) X25-E Extreme Serial Advanced Technology Attachment or “SATA” solid state drives with Adaptec's MaxIQ SSD caching software and its Series 5Z, Series 5 or Series 2 Storage Controllers.  

Adaptec (News - Alert) launched its Series 5Z Unified Serial RAID controller with flash-based Zero maintenance Cache Protection module earlier this year. This controller provides data center managers with a single controller solution for data protection in the event of both power loss and drive failure.

“Data centers running applications with high 'read' demands such as databases running MySQL are continuing to grow at an exponential pace,” said Marc Lowe, Adaptec vice president of marketing and business development.

According to Adaptec officials, MaxIQ in its MySQL Testing Environment is the first solution for building and managing High-Performance Hybrid Arrays or “HPHAs” - storage arrays using both solid-state drives and hard disk drives.

MaxIQ solution dramatically increases I/O performance, reduce capital and operating expenses by as much as 50 percent, and can deliver significant savings in power consumption over hard disk drive-only arrays.

Officials with Adaptec said that during the test, transactions per second improved 6.9 times, going from 346 transactions per second with SSD cache disabled to 2374 transactions per second with SSD cache enabled and a total of 1.6 million transactions were executed during each test run.
