LSI Integrated RAID is a low cost, hardware RAID solution made possible by Fusion-MPT architecture. Integrated RAID (IR) is a processor-based RAID solution designed for system environments requiring redundancy and high availability where a full-featured RAID implementation is not desired or may be cost prohibitive and does not require any special drivers. By providing RAID at the hardware level, the host CPU is off-loaded from performing RAID functions allowing for more efficient operation
