PMC-Sierra and Hitachi GST Achieve 6Gbs SAS Interoperability
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Thu, May 1st, 2008
PMC and Seagate already also did it.
The increased performance offered by 6Gb/s SAS HDDs enables SAS-2 systems to deliver higher levels of scalability, availability and reliability. Demonstrating successful 6Gb/s SAS interoperability between PMC-Sierra chipsets and Hitachi hard drives allows server and storage system equipment manufacturers to design a SAS-2 architecture operating end-to-end at 6Gb/s line rate with confidence.
6Gb/s SAS hard drives and other infrastructure components will be fully backward compatible with existing 3Gb/s devices. This provides enterprise customers with exceptional configuration flexibility and investment protection.
"PMC-Sierra is committed to ensuring full interoperability with 6Gb/s components to reduce the time to market and transition seamlessly to 6Gb/s SAS/SATA systems," said Travis Karr, vice president of marketing for PMC-Sierra's Enterprise Storage Division. "PMC-Sierra has been very impressed by the quality and maturity of Hitachi's 6Gb/s SAS technology, which translated directly into successful interoperability between PMC-Sierra's end-to-end 6Gb/s SAS chipset and Hitachi 6Gb/s SAS HDDs."
"The increased transfer rate of the new 6Gb/s SAS interface is critical to satisfying our enterprise customers' continuing appetite for performance enhancements," said Currie Munce, vice president, Enterprise HDD Business Group, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies. "Hitachi is pleased to have collaborated with PMC-Sierra and demonstrated interoperability with our respective 6Gb/s SAS products. These collaborations will help pave the way for a seamless industry transition to the new interface standard."
Hitachi and PMC-Sierra will participate in the SCSI Trade Association's SAS Solutions Open House being held at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, CA on May 6. The event is designed to provide a broad SAS learning experience and will include a 6Gb/s SAS technology demonstration.
