setup ssd cache on MS Core Server

Hello Community.

I'm looking for possibilities to accelerate our Hyper-V-Core Cluster Nodes who have X99 chipsets with 4 HDDs in raid 5 configuration.

Therefore I have two questions.

  1. Is it even possible to accelerate the raid system on bios level? Because without a GUI (Core Server) its not possible to use the typical Intel software.
  2. Does the SSD accelerate data inside individual virtual machines? Each VM has Virtual drives that are in one file and bigger than 512 GB.

i7-6800K

ASUS X99-E

4 X WD 30EFRX RED

Thanks for the help.

Hello ITEDV,

 

 

Thank you for contacting the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology for Enterprise support

 

 

We will be more than glad to investigate on your questions, however we will like to inform you that in order to run the Intel® RSTe software you need to have an Intel Xeon® E5 v3, v4 or v5 Processor and a chipset C610 or a c230 Series. However if you would like to use this configuration you can take advantage of using Intel® RST

 

 

Please let us if you will like us to move your community post to the /community/tech/rapid-storage-technology Intel® RST support community.

 

 

Best regards,

 

Luis H.
