Cache.
Very high speed memory that is used to speed I/O transaction time. All
reads and writes to the XP array family are sent to the cache. The data is
buffered there until the transfer to/from physical disks (with slower data
throughput) is complete.
The benefit of cache memory is that it speeds I/O throughput to the
application. The larger the cache size, the greater amount of data buffering
can occur and the greater throughput to the applications.
XP arrays support a range of cache memory. In the event of power loss,
battery power allows the contents of the cache boards to survive for up to
48 hours.
