The MegaRAID Serial Attached SATA/SCSI (SAS) RAID controllers are high-performance intelligent PCI-Express-to-SATA/SCSI adapters with RAID control capabilities. MegaRAID SAS RAID controllers provide reliability, high performance, and fault-tolerant disk subsystem management. They are an ideal RAID solution for the internal storage of workgroup, departmental, and enterprise systems. MegaRAID SAS RAID controllers offer a cost-effective way to implement RAID in a server. White Paper:Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Takes its Place in the Enterprise - JapaneseApr.07.09 (PDF 1.70 MB) With the advent of 6Gb/s SAS, the SAS architecture and technology is growing its presence within traditional and non-traditional Enterprise environments. This paper will explore the roots of the SAS technology, why the SAS architecture is well suited to Enterprise markets and how the evolution of the SAS technology expands on its increasing role in IT data centers. After discussing the growing capabilities of SAS, and how Enterprise environments are deploying SAS, we?ll look at new growth opportunities for SAS and discuss how the SAS architecture is adapting to the growing needs of the Enterprise. |
