PR Newswire (US)
Multigenerational alignment broadens availability of LSI SAS1078
RAID-On-Chip and MegaRAID solutions for Intel's worldwide channel
network SANTA CLARA and MILPITAS, Calif., Dec. 12
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intel Corporation and LSI Corporation
(NYSE:LSI) today announced a multigenerational SAS/SATA RAID
agreement to broaden the worldwide availability of LSI RAID-On-Chip
(ROC) and MegaRAID(R) solutions for Intel's worldwide channel
network. Intel has selected LSI to supply 3 and 6Gb/s solutions for
server and workstation products. The two companies have
collaborated since 2003, and under this expanded agreement Intel
will make available to its channel customers a wider range of
SAS/SATA RAID products for Intel servers and workstations. The
products will better meet the growing demand for systems requiring
advanced data protection, enhanced performance and superior
usability, all supported by Intel's worldwide channel network.
Using the LSI SAS1078 and future 6Gb/sec SAS ROC and MegaRAID
solutions, Intel will deliver both RAID adapter and integrated
board products designed to complement the new Quad-Core Intel(R)
Xeon(R) processor 5400 series, which employs Intel's new transistor
formula for better performance and energy efficiency. In the first
quarter of 2008, Intel plans to add four SAS/SATA controllers and
one system board to its current portfolio of SCSI, SATA and SAS
RAID products (1). This complements the currently available
selection of Intel products using the LSI SAS1078-based adapters,
which includes the high-performance, highly scalable Intel(R) RAID
Controller SRCSASJV; the flexible, mainstream Intel(R) RAID
Controller SRCSASRB; and the value-oriented Intel(R) RAID
Controller SRCSATAWB. All Intel(R) RAID Controllers and SAS/SATA
products are validated with Intel(R) server boards, chassis and
systems, and qualify for Intel service and support. For additional
details, see http://www.intel.com/go/serverproducts. "The agreement
we're announcing today will result in a competitive long-term
product roadmap with a consistent set of software tools," said
David Brown, director of marketing, Intel Enterprise Product and
Services Division. "In the end, this boils down to investment
protection for Intel's channel customers based on a planned
evolution of our server and workstation products combined with LSI
ROC and MegaRAID solutions." Mike Gurin, director of channel
marketing at LSI commented, "This alignment will bring additional
resources to bear to speed the adoption of LSI's industry-proven
RAID solutions, helping provide high-performance and reliable
fault-tolerant data protection for Intel's customers. By combining
Intel's worldwide customer reach with LSI's MegaRAID adapters and
embedded ROC products, customers win." About Intel Intel, the world
