Cache upgrade improved system responsiveness.
Easy installation with noticeable benefits.
Stable performance after upgrade.
Good option for hybrid systems.
Consistent results.
It is an HPE-authorized flash-based cache module that adds 480 GB of high-speed hybrid cache to NS CS1000H storage arrays, reducing latency and boosting IOPS.
By storing frequently accessed data in NAND flash, the upgrade reduces read/write latency, increases IOPS, and accelerates application responsiveness.
Yes. Q8D11A is fully compatible with every HPE NS CS1000H configuration that supports hybrid cache modules.
Power down the array, insert the cache module into the designated PCIe slot, secure it, power on, then enable and configure caching via the HPE Storage Management interface.
