Controllers and accessories for special applications

In addition to storage controllers for managing large volumes of data and remote management modules for efficiently managing complex IT environments, our online shop offers a variety of other controllers and adapters to meet the specific needs of different systems and applications. For example, depending on the model, NetApp storage systems require the use of compatible controllers to expand the storage infrastructure with additional units. Universal USB expansion cards for installation in the PCI Express (PCIe) slot can be used to provide servers and workstations from different manufacturers with the necessary connections to bring older systems up to today's widespread USB-C standard.

In general, when using expansion cards and controllers, it is important to note that the server chassis must have the appropriate expansion slots in the correct format. For example, if it is necessary to install a RAID controller with a high-profile bracket in a PCIe slot on the motherboard or riser that is only compatible with low-profile models, this can be achieved with the appropriate accessories. In this case, the controller bezel must be replaced with an optional spare part in the matching format to allow installation.

With the DELL EMC BOSS (Boot Optimised Server Storage) adapters, we also have controller cards in our range that are specifically designed for Dell PowerEdge servers and can significantly speed up the boot process of the systems. These adapters have two slots for SATA SSDs in the M.2 form factor, which can be used to install the operating system and offer several benefits. On the one hand, simple RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) configurations are supported, allowing either increased speed through striping or increased data security through mirroring. On the other hand, when using these adapters, all other hard disks on a server are available for applications and data, as no capacity needs to be reserved for the operating system. At up to 6 Gbits/s, the SATA standard provides a sufficient transfer rate for this application, and the flash-based SSD (Solid State Drive) provides low latency access, resulting in faster boot times and improved server responsiveness.
