/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today
announced that Taiwan server industry leaders Acer, ASUS, GIGABYTE,
Inventec, MSI, Quanta Computer and TYAN have selected LSI as a
6Gb/s SAS technology partner, and are working closely with the
company to apply LSI(TM) SAS and MegaRAID(R) technology to their
next-generation server plans. "Taiwan continues to grow in
importance as the place where many key technology decisions are
made for server systems deployed worldwide," said Robin Wagner,
senior director of marketing, Storage Components Division, LSI.
"The Taiwan server industry leaders play a pivotal role in
technology evaluation and development. We are also seeing the
growth of a new category of market players in the 'OBM' or own
brand manufacturer category with thriving brands, recognized
worldwide. We will continue to work closely with the Taiwan server
industry leaders as they develop and bring to market 6Gb/s
SAS-based servers." Today's announcement adds to a growing list of
worldwide server industry leaders that are focusing their
next-generation engineering efforts around LSI SAS and MegaRAID
technology to enable entry- to enterprise-server platforms. LSI has
previously announced 6Gb/s SAS design wins with Dell, Fujitsu
Siemens Computers, IBM, Intel, NEC, Sun Microsystems and
Supermicro. "Taiwan manufacturers supply about 37 percent of the
worldwide server industry demand. Historically, the Asia Pacific
region is the second wave for technology adoption, riding the crest
of tier-one OEM product launches," said Colley Hwang, president,
DIGITIMES. "Watching these important Taiwan companies as they
integrate new technology into new platforms provides an insight
into marketplace readiness and strength." According to IDC
estimates*, 6Gb/s SAS market adoption will begin with the release
of individual SAS components and devices, and gain momentum as
tier-one OEMs begin widespread production volume shipments of 6Gb/s
SAS-enabled servers by mid-to-late 2009. LSI is currently sampling
LSI MegaRAID 6Gb/s SAS RAID adapters and LSI 6Gb/s SAS ROC ICs
(SAS2108) to select customers worldwide. The new LSI 6Gb/s SAS
technology builds upon the market-leading LSI SAS 3Gb/s technology
products. Since the inception of SAS, LSI has delivered
market-leading products across its broad portfolio of controller
ICs, expanders, host bus and MegaRAID adapters, ROMB solutions and
