MILPITAS, Calif., March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI
Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced it is sampling a PCI
Express® (PCIe®)-based solid-state storage (SSS) solution to
OEM customers. The LSISSS6200 PCIe SSS card provides a
high-performance storage solution with enhanced reliability and
industry-leading storage density for enterprise servers. For easy
system integration and management, the card uses the
industry-standard SAS protocol and widely deployed LSI SAS
software. The card is designed to maximize transactional I/O
performance for applications such as Web serving, data warehousing,
data mining, online transaction processing and high-performance
computing.
"Future customer requirements related to price, performance,
power consumption and reliability align well with the benefits of
solid-state storage," said Jeff
Janukowicz, research manager, Hard Disk Drive Components and
Solid State Drives at IDC. "PCIe-based SSS solutions, such as the
LSISSS6200, can reliably meet next-generation data center needs
with an improved price-to-performance ratio compared to traditional
storage solutions."
Offering high performance with low latency and a low CPU burden,
the small form factor PCIe card delivers up to 200,000 4K
sequential I/Os per second (IOPS) and up to 150,000 4K random IOPS.
It achieves bandwidth of 1,500MB/s sustained sequential I/O and
1,200MB/s sustained random I/O, regardless of read/write mix.
Storage capacity of up to 300GB can be configured in a single PCIe
slot with no external power requirement. Using industry-standard
LSI software drivers, the card provides support for all major
operating systems and helps OEM customers achieve a faster time to
market.
"The new LSISSS6200 card utilizes the industry's most widely
deployed software stack to deliver an enterprise-capable, drop-in
storage solution," said Steve
Fingerhut, senior director of marketing, Storage Components
Division, LSI. "Providing customers with a new tier of storage
between system memory and low-cost disk drives, without sacrificing
reliability or simplicity, PCIe-based SSS solutions represent the
next evolution in storage architectures for market segments
requiring extreme performance."
LSI brings decades of enterprise-level experience in the design,
manufacture and support of storage products for critical
applications. LSI is already deeply engaged in delivering
solid-state storage technologies, from custom silicon to storage
systems. Bringing the proven engineering capabilities and global
scale of LSI to the development of PCIe-based SSS solutions will
help pave the way to market segment maturity and broad enterprise
adoption.
