LSI 12Gb/s SAS Technology to Power Xyratex Storage Systems
LSI Corporation recently announced that its 12Gb/s SAS technology has been selected by Xyratex to power its next-generation storage systems. Xyratex will include the LSI 12Gb/s I/O controller and expander, featuring DataBolt technology, to provide customers with leading-edge solutions to handle the scale and performance requirements brought on by rapidly growing storage demands.
LSI 12Gb/s SAS solutions include DataBolt bandwidth optimizer technology, a performance acceleration feature that allows users to take advantage of 12Gb/s speeds with existing 6Gb/s drive infrastructure. LSI and Xyratex demonstrated the benefits of 12Gb/s SAS using DataBolt technology in June at the SCSI Trade Association Showcase. LSI is currently sampling its 12Gb/s SAS technology to OEMs and Xyratex expects to deliver its first storage systems that include LSI 12Gb/s SAS technology later this year.
Todays growing storage performance needs are driven by everything from consumer video to enterprise applications, and LSIs 12Gb/s SAS and PCIe 3.0 delivers the performance and bandwidth required to enhance the IT infrastructure powering these services, said Kelly Bryant, vice president of marketing, RAID Storage Division, LSI. LSI solutions with DataBolt technology and PCIe 3.0 will enable Xyratex to deliver powerful, high-performance storage systems that can scale and grow to meet the needs of data-intensive applications.
