Leading Storage Developer Deploys High-Performance, Highly Scalable Storage Solutions SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Newisys®, a division of Sanmina-SCI Corporation (NASDAQ:SANM), and leading provider of data center open systems storage platforms, today announced the release of two new 6 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage building blocks for its Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers to adopt and/or customize into their storage solutions. "We are pleased to announce the Newisys NDS-3160, a 3U-16-3.5" HDD solution, and the Newisys NDS-2241, a 2U-24-2.5" HDD/SDD solution," stated Naresh Nigam, Chief Technology Officer, Sanmina-SCI. "By providing these two 6 Gb/s storage building blocks today, our customers will be maximizing their investment for the future." Both units feature high efficiency redundant hot swap power/cooling modules, and support either Single or Dual I/O controller configurations. Advanced features in the I/O controller module will enable customers to select access to either all the hard disk drives (HDDs) through one of the external standard serial attached SCSI (SAS) connections or provide only a certain number of HDDs exclusively through a specific external SAS connection, also known as "zoning." "Silicon and board-level products supporting 6 Gb/s SAS have emerged and Newisys believes that it's the right time to bring these two new system-level storage solutions to market," continued Mr. Nigam. "6 Gb/s SAS is the next generation of the technology standard. These new products complement our first generation SAS NDS-2120, a 2U-12-3.5", and NDS-2240, a 2U-24-2.5", HDD storage systems. 6 Gb/s SAS not only provides higher bandwidth than the previous generation, but streamlines overheads in the low-level silicon components allowing for greater IOPS to be achieved as well as additional infrastructure topology flexibility," concluded Mr. Nigam. The Newisys NDS-3160 and Newisys NDS-2241 are already sampling to OEM customers.
