Hi
I read this thing about CAPU, what is it ?? I know about PAM II but i have never heard about PAM II or FlashCache being refered to as a CAPU card.
This CAPU card should as i read it in this BNUG customer powerpoint be:
All the new features are very greedy on CPU. Again
NetApp solves this with the same approach as for cache -> PAM card. They have a dedicated card: CAPU, to enhance the computing performance.
• No need to upgrade the controller to have better performance and more I/O.
• If ONTAP detects the CAPU card it will automatically use it for heavy CPU consuming processes like SnapMirror, SnapVault, SnapEncrypt, SnapCompress, Deduplication.
• It doesn’t impact the I/O of the controller so I can guarantee my SLAs.
Is it a ekstra CPU card that we can put into a PCIe slot to do specific CPU entensive jobs ?
If any of you have any knowledge about this CAPU or have a link to a TR or some link, please post it here.
