Results for tag: "RAID Controller Battery"

In the field of computer hardware, the RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) controller battery plays a crucial role in maintaining data integrity and preventing loss in the event of a power outage or system failure. A RAID controller is a device that manages the physical disk drives and presents them to the computer as logical units. It typically uses a battery or battery-backed non-volatile cache to protect the data that is yet to be written to the disks when an unexpected power loss occurs. RAID controller batteries are designed to preserve the contents of the cache by providing power long enough for the data to be written to the disk drives. This ensures that transactions in progress at the time of power interruption are not lost, which is particularly important in enterprise environments where data availability and consistency are paramount. The market for RAID controller batteries includes a variety of offerings that cater to different RAID controller models and specifications. These batteries are often specific to the RAID controller brand and model, with factors such as capacity, voltage, and form factor being important considerations for consumers. Notable companies operating in the RAID controller battery market include Dell EMC, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), IBM, Cisco Systems, and Broadcom Inc. They manufacture and supply RAID controller batteries as part of their broader offering of storage solutions and enterprise hardware. Other players in the market include third-party suppliers and specialized battery manufacturers who provide compatible products for various RAID controller models. Show Less Read more
