The LSISAS1068 controller provides 1.5 and 3Gb/s data transfer rates per port and enables integrated RAID solutions in storage environments including servers, workstations and blade servers.
The LSI Logic Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 3Gb/s integrated controller is based on Fusion-MPT™ (Message Passing Technology) architecture, the industry's leading high-performance interface technology. The LSISAS1068
eight-port controller provides 1.5 and 3Gb/s data transfer rates per port and enables Integrated RAID solutions in storage environments including servers and external storage systems. The LSI Logic SAS controller is ideal for today's data centers and leverages existing SCSI infrastructure for investment
protection. The serial interface allows for point-to-point connection, increased device bandwidth, higher availability with dual ported drives, and enhanced reliability when compared to parallel SCSI.
Next generation of I/O architecture designed to deliver the highest performance available today while shortening time to market and saving integration and certification time.
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.
