Support for PERC hardware controllers

The PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) family of enterprise-class controllers is designed for enhanced performance, increased reliability and fault tolerance, and simplified management—providing a powerful, easy-to-manage way to create a robust infrastructure and help maximize server uptime. The introduction of the PERC 9, PERC 10, and PERC 11 family of hardware controllers also brings about improvements in storage solutions.

The new PERC 9 and PERC 10 family of hardware controllers support the following storage enhancements:
