Today, LSI Corporation brought to market a new generation of high performance SATA + SAS HBA-adapter-based SAS technology 6Gbit / sec. Adapters LSI SAS 9200 series are based on the SAS-controller LSISAS2008 6Gbit / s and offer a completely new level of performance and scalability to plug directly to the internal and external storage disk drives with SATA and SAS.HBA-LSI SAS 9200 adapters provide high bandwidth and high processing speed input / output operations, as well as flexible choice of connections 3Gb / s and 6Gbit / s SATA and SAS disk drives or solid state memory. The new adapters are designed to ensure smooth functioning of various systems, ranging from mail or OLTP-systems, servers to streaming video, and data centers, including web-hosting and systems of cloud data processing.

"LSI is committed to providing partners a wide range of best-in-class storage solutions, - said Brent Blanchard, director of sales and marketing with partners around the world, a division of Engenio Storage Group, LSI. - LSI first company in the industry brings to market a complete line of high-performance host adapters and RAID-controller 6Gbit / s, giving partners the opportunity to place the system to perform a wide range of tasks.

The latest unit of HBA-adapter consists of models LSI SAS 9211-4i, LSI SAS 9211-8i as well as LSI SAS 9200-8e. The latest adapters advance performance more than doubled compared to earlier host adapters SATA + SAS, offering processing speed readout mode 2.6Gbayt / s in write mode 3.0Gbayt / s and up to 317,000 input / output operations per second.

In contrast to the HBA-adapter of the previous generation of the new series SAS 9200 adapters support almost twice as many SATA and SAS drives. SAS Models 9211-4i (4 Port) and the 9211 SAS-8i (8 port) provide the internal storage connection, allowing use of up to 256 SATA or SAS drives. Adapter to connect an external SAS 9200-8E (8 ports) supports the work of up to 512 SATA and SAS devices. Using external RAID arrays and JBOD, this adapter allows you to implement a large-scale storage solution up to one petabyte.

"The new LSI HBA-cards are cost-effective solution for the exchange of data at high speed, high-availability and data protection, whether applied HBA-adapter to connect a hard disk drive to a workstation or to the work of a powerful external storage systems or enterprise-level server, - said William Huang, president of Area Data Systems. - The combination of our server systems, high-density storage with the new HBA-adapter LSI SAS 9200 series provides a system linker and VARs a flexible solution that allows you to fulfill all customer requirements regardless of the individual requirements of the infrastructure. "

Parameters of data availability improved by adding support for RAID 10. Application of technology LSI Integrated RAID - hardware-integrated solution MegaRAID Storage Manager - allows partners to build highly reliable storage system with protection level RAID 0, 1, 1E and RAID 10.

With regard to price new products, they are as follows (prices are recommended): LSI SAS 9211-4i (4 port) is 205 dollars, LSI SAS 9211-8i (8 ports) - $ 285, and LSI SAS 9200-8E (8 ports) is 419 dollars.
