January 23 2008 - 4:00PM
Business Wire
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ:AMCC), a global leader
in optical transport, embedded Power Architecture� processing and
storage solutions, announced today that Accusys has selected AMCC�s
PowerPC 440SP storage processor for their new leadership RAID
Controller family (ACS-81000, ACS-82410, ACS-92000, ACS-93000).
Accusys is a worldwide leader in design, manufacturing, and
marketing of RAID products. The AMCC PowerPC 440SP storage
processor enables these new Accusys products to deliver unmatched
performance, flexibility and the ability to meet demanding customer
storage requirements for their RAID applications. With RAID 5 and
RAID 6 acceleration engines, 4Gb DDR2-667 memory controller, high
bandwidth internal bus structure and multiple high speed I/O
interfaces, the AMCC PowerPC 440SP allows Accusys to fully utilize
the performance of the 4Gb Fibre Channel and 3Gb SAS connectivity.
The new ACCUSYS RAID controllers feature dual 4Gb FC or 3Gb SAS
uplinks support for both SAS and SATA2 disk arrays. They also
support numerous advanced storage array features and functions
including multiple RAID levels, on-line capacity provisioning,
dynamic volume management, and disk health monitoring while
delivering high performance and flexibility at a cost-effective
price point. �We are pleased to have been selected by Accusys to
power their new advanced RAID controllers. Accusys is clearly
responding to RAID solution challenges and the PowerPC 440SP is a
key factor in their product differentiation,� said Sam Fuller, Vice
President Marketing at AMCC. �The high performance, wide range of
features and flexibility of our PowerPC 440SP is helping Accusys
deliver leadership solutions on a short development cycle. Customer
wins of this nature clearly validate the strategic investments AMCC
has made to maintain a leadership position with its Storage
Processor products. Their proven RAID architecture and reliability
are a winning combination as they continue to be selected by a
growing number of storage OEMs and ODMs.� �The performance gained
from the AMCC storage processor is quite significant,� said Frank
Hu, Director of Product Strategy at Accusys. �AMCC�s PowerPC 440SP
simply empowers Accusys controllers to deliver higher performance
by saturating and utilizing 100% of the fiber channel bandwidth.
This is certainly critical with the deployment of 4Gb FC and 3Gb
SAS solutions in the storage market. And it took only about three
weeks to get the controller running. That is very fast compared to
other development experiences.� �The power of the AMCC PowerPC
440SP enables all of the complex RAID operations to be performed
efficiently and smoothly with very little impact on other
applications,� said Jemmy Lai, Manager of Product Strategy at
Accusys. �This is very important so that our customers can
recognize the value of our new storage management features. They
can immediately employ the ease of use and flexibility when they
can manipulate various RAID configurations and allocate storage
resources with little impact to normal operations.� For more
