Administration and Deployment Applying an HPE Smart Cache license key typically involves:
HPE Smart Cache is a controller-based caching solution designed for Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) environments. By identifying and storing an application's most frequently accessed "hot" data on high-speed Solid-State Drives (SSDs), it effectively bridges the gap between the raw capacity of traditional hard drives and the performance of all-flash arrays.

Information stored in the controller's Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC) module that tracks data locations across the accelerator and bulk storage. Licensing and Availability Administration and Deployment Applying an HPE Smart Cache
Requires a performance-tier HPE Smart Array controller (e.g., P420, P440, P408i) equipped with a minimum of 1 GB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC) and a healthy backup energy pack. | Feature Category | Details | | :---
