Before discussing the license, it is essential to understand the technology. HPE Smart Cache (formerly known as SmartCache in older Gen8/Gen9 servers) is a feature available on specific HPE Smart Array RAID controllers (such as the P-Series and MR Series).

At its core, Smart Cache uses solid-state drives (SSDs) as a high-speed read cache for a backend array of traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) or SAS mechanical drives. In practice, this creates a hybrid storage tier.

When a read request comes from the operating system, the Smart Array controller checks the SSD cache first. If the data is there (a "cache hit"), the server delivers it at near-SSD speeds. If the data is not there (a "cache miss"), the controller fetches it from the slower HDDs and then promotes that data to the SSD for future requests.
