StudioSysAdmins-Discuss Digest, Vol 53, Issue 28
posted by Jeff Yana on Feb. 28, 2014, 12:35 a.m.
I suppose you could think of it as cache, but since it is the primary and only location of filesystem metadata (once defined), its more accurate to refer to it as a data tier.

I Googled Max Boost in conjunction HDS and came up with nothing. Maybe its Canadian marketing-speak but I am pretty sure North America is treated as a single contiguous marketing block and marketing names are consistent. 

It remains to be seen what will happen to SSDs with the recent announcement of their all-flash array for their HUS 150 and VM products (see below).

thanks for the clarification Jeff.    I suspect the sales guy was trying to sell us the SSD drives and was considering it cache,  or BA's answer to other vendors caching solutions..    In any event that conversation happened a few years ago and I have a hard enough time remembering what I had for lunch these days.

With that said,  adding a tiering layer of SSD conceptually isn't that far off of what dedicated caching solutions attempt to achieve I'd think..  maybe not as aggressively.

The software upgrade BA introduced was/is known as Max Boost in NA,    Maybe it has been recently renamed by HDS or perhaps you are in some other region?
