For Increased Data Integrity and Availability
LSI offers a family of MegaRAID® battery backup units for use with our
high-performance MegaRAID storage adapters. These backup units protect the
integrity of the cached data by providing power if there is a server failure or
complete AC power failure. The industry-exclusive MegaRAID transportable battery
backup units (TBBUs) offer an additional layer of fault tolerance by protecting
data in cache during adapter field replacement.
