eChannelLine.com: LSI Launches New Generation of RAID Controllers
Author: Liam Lahey
LSI Corporation launched a new generation of high-performance MegaRAID SATA+SAS RAID controller cards based on 6Gb/s SAS technology. With support for both SATA and SAS disk drives and innovative new 6Gb/s SAS product features, the MegaRAID 9200 series controllers provide small-to-mid-sized enterprises with superior levels of RAID performance and scalability for internal and external storage, the vendor says.
The MegaRAID 9200 series controllers double the data transfer rates of their 3Gb/s predecessors to deliver industry-leading performance with up to 2.85 GB/s in sequential reads and 1.85 GB/s in sequential writes. The superior read/write performance makes them ideally suited for a broad range of application workloads, from data center applications such as email and database servers to more compute-intensive applications such as streaming video, OLTP and data archival.
For LSI's channel partners, the news is doubly good. The RAID and host bus adapter vendor has overhauled how it does business with its' various partner communities, explained the newly-hired Suresh Panikar, senior manager, worldwide channel marketing, LSI. Prior to joining LSI, Panikar served as director of worldwide marketing for Adaptec.
