When it comes to storage, most enterprises seek the same things: predictable performance, trusted reliability and superior value. The challenge is finding a storage solution that delivers those benefits in a way that makes sense for your business. A pioneer in solid state storage technology, SanDisk provides a wide array of data storage solutions, so you can select what works best for you.
Our data center storage solutions include enterprise software, appliance and hardware that deliver cutting-edge, workload optimized SAS and SATA SSDs, PCIe Application Accelerators and flash storage on DIMMs. Additionally, our FlashSoft® and ioTurbine software options enable flash memory devices from any vendor to be seamlessly deployed in servers, increasing application performance and storage efficiency without changes to applications, virtual machines or storage systems.
Dell customers can purchase our software and hardware technology directly from Dell. With the Dell Acceleration Appliance for Databases (DAAD), an all-flash appliance, data centers can maximize application performance, scalability and QoS with solutions that drive faster business-time-to-results. Additionally, SanDisk DAS Cache, server-side caching software, helps increase enterprise application performance on Dell PowerEdge servers. SanDisk enterprise Solid State Drive (SSD) products have been qualified, tested and proven by eight of the nine tier-1 server and storage vendors as critical components in the enterprise systems they deliver to their data center customers. Easily integrated, scalable, simple to manage and boasting a low total cost of ownership (TCO), SanDisk hardware solutions have earned the trust of these tier-1 OEMs, time and again.

SanDisk® DAS Cache
SanDisk DAS Cache software is a server-based caching solution for direct attached storage (DAS) using server-attached SSDs. SanDisk DAS Cache software works with the wide range of solid state storage devices attached via SATA, SAS or PCIe interfaces, and is available with Dell® 13G PowerEdge™
servers. This software supports Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, Novell SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server and Microsoft® Windows® Server and caches reads as well as writes, while ensuring data integrity via write-back caching technology. This solution can enable substantial performance increases for workloads such as OLTP, OLAP, HPC and Business Analytics.
Intelligent software to maximize application performance and
data center efficiency
Dell Acceleration Appliance for Databases (DAAD)
Available in a standalone or high availability configuration, the Dell Acceleration Appliance for Databases (DAAD) is a high performance application acceleration solution that enables mid-market and enterprise customers the ability to quickly and cost-effectively boost database
performance. DAAD offers database and operating system independent block storage that provides
acceleration for demanding application and user workloads, enables more concurrent users, quicker response times and faster batch processing and reporting. DAAD offers seamless integration with any database infrastructure (Oracle, MS SQL, SAP ASE, SAP HANA, MySQL, etc.).
The Dell Acceleration Appliance for Databases alleviates bottlenecks in OLTP performance, especially in Oracle environments, and addresses the issue without incurring major platform or infrastructure overhauls, or large expenditures on additional traditional disk or compute resources. DAAD is database agnostic, and will work with any OLTP database platform – including non-Dell servers.
