Amplify your data center with more security, speed, and capacity
Optimize storage applications as you create larger capacity
Economize your storage systems by amplifying and optimizing

For many organizations, data growth is continuous and substantial. IT professionals must plan for this growth and control its impact on critical applications such as web hosting, cloud computing, digital content, and archive VTLs. This requires a solid infrastructure and faster, more reliable and secure reads and writes.

For example, data centers that offer virtualization technology require fast reads and writes to archived storage components so that they are readily available for backup and recovery processes. In the event that their end users require retrieval of back-up, fast reads and writes are a huge benefit to these data center customers.

LSI high-performance and secure state-of-the-art storage solutions
LSI high-performance and secure state-of-the-art storage solutions can add real value for your data center customers. Our 6Gb/s SATA+SAS RAID controller cards offer maximum performance, with some models featuring LSI SafeStore™ encryption services for self-encrypting drives. This technology helps secure a drive's data from unauthorized access in the event that hard drives are stolen, misplaced, resold or sent in for repair or replacement.

Amplify your data center with more security, speed and capacity
LSI SafeStore Encryption Services for self-encrypting drives help secure a drive's data from unauthorized access. The Instant Secure Erase feature makes data from drives unreadable, and minimizes the amount of time and money normally required to retire, return, or repurpose drives. The Auto Lock feature prevents access to drive contents when unplugged, switched off, or removed from the system. With In addition, with LSI SafeStore Encryption Services you can deliver more reads and writes to your customers (up to 2,500MB/s reads and 3,000MB/s writes).

Optimize storage applications as you create larger capacity
With LSI™ 6Gb/s SATA+SAS, you optimize storage applications as you create larger capacity systems (up to 512TBs) by connecting more HDDs to a single controller (connects from 240 to 512 HDDs). As a result, there is a reduction of servers and storage devices utilized, which allows for more efficient management.

Eight-port Internal MegaRAID SAS 9260DE-8i: Provides a new level of performance and data protection for internal storage systems using up to 32 SATA or SAS hard drives or solid state drives (SSDs).
MegaRAID SAS 9280DE-8e: With eight external SATA+SAS ports, it is ideal for configuring external enclosures with your choice of high-performance SAS hard drives, high-capacity SATA hard drives or energy-efficient SSDs.

Economize your storage systems by amplifying and optimizing
By amplifying and optimizing, you economize your storage systems. You can support more users with less administrative time, use less energy, and reduce both capital and operating costs. It's about more than lowering TCO with LSI, it’s about meeting user demands with efficient and economical management of your storage infrastructure – allowing you to:
