HPE SmartCache
The HPE SmartCache feature is a controller-based read caching solution in a DAS environment that
caches the most frequently accessed data ("hot" data) onto lower latency SSDs to dynamically
accelerate application workloads. The
HPE SmartCache architecture is flexible and supports any HPE
ProLiant Gen8 supported HDD for bulk storage and any
HPE ProLiant Gen8 supported SSD as an
accelerator.
HPE
SmartCache is deployed and managed using the HPE SmartStorage Administrator (HPE SSA).
The basic
HPE SmartCache architecture is comprised of the following three elements:
• Bulk storage: The first element is the bulk storage device, which is any supported HDD
attached to the HPE Smart Array controller.
• Accelerator: The second element, the accelerator, is a faster/lower latency SSD device that
caches data.
• Metadata
: The final element is metadata, information held in the FBWC that maps the location
of information residing on the accelerator and bulk storage devices.

HPE Secure Encryption
HPE Secure Encryption is a Smart Array controller-based data encryption solution for ProLiant Gen 8
servers that protects sensitive, mission critical data. This is an enterprise
-class encryption solution for
data at rest on any bulk storage attached (with the exception of tape or external arrays such as P2000
and MSA 2040) to the supported
HPE Smart Array Px3x family of controllers including data on the
cache memory of the controller.
The solution i
s available for both local and remote key management mode deployments. Local Key
Management Mode is focused on single server deployment where there is one Master key per
controller that is managed by the user. All volumes still have their own unique key(s)
for data
encryption. Remote Key Management Mode is for enterprise wide deployments and requires
HPE
Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Advanced or Scale Out editions v 1.40 or later and
HPE Enterprise Secure
Key Manager (ESKM) 3.1 or any later release. The
HPE E
SKM manages all the encryption deployments
from just a few servers to thousands of servers and 2 million keys per
HPE ESKM 3.1 cluster.
