LSI High-Availability DAS Solutions Chosen by Intel

To enhance storage portfolio

LSI Corporation
announced that its high-availability direct-attached storage (HA-DAS) solutions
have been selected by Intel Corp. to enhance its storage portfolio.

LSI HA-DAS
solutions are designed to provide SMB and remote, departmental and branch
offices with increased application availability and uptime without the
complexity and costs of traditional high-availability storage solutions.

"Data growth and consumption have
fueled the need for high-availability server systems where shared storage and
uptime are especially critical,
" said David Brown, director of marketing,
Intel Enterprise Platforms and Services Division. "Intel RAID HA-DAS
solutions powered by LSI technology will provide those benefits found in
traditional high-availability systems, while at the same time being easier to
manage and more cost-effective.
"

HA computing systems are designed to
ensure that applications and data are continuously available even in case of
component failure. Traditional HA solutions combine servers into clusters and
share storage across a SAN to ensure continuous application availability and
eliminate single points of failure.

LSI HA-DAS solutions lower
the cost and complexity
of HA solutions by providing:

  • Fully redundant, shared-node storage
  • Application failover to guarantee uptime
    and availability
  • Easy-to-manage storage without
    complex storage networking hardware

"LSI HA-DAS solutions are an
exciting new option for system architects and IT managers that deliver shared
storage application failover with the cost-effectiveness of DAS
," said
Kelly Bryant, VP of marketing, RAID Storage Division, LSI. "LSI is excited
to collaborate with Intel as they have taken a leading position in offering these
new solutions to the marketplace.
"

LSI showed the benefits of its HA-DAS
solutions
as well as several other products
at the Intel Developer Forum in San
Francisco, CA, including:

  • HA-DAS in failover prevention
    environment
  • 12Gb/s SAS I/O performance with Intel
    SSDs
  • LSI SandForce Flash Storage Processors
    (FSPs) in mobile computing technology demonstrations, including Ultrabooks
    currently shipping with SandForce Driven SSDs and a Windows To Go-compatible
    USB 3.0 flash drive powered by SandForce FSPs

LSI will also participate in the NVM
Express Showcase displaying its PCIe flash-based LSI Nytro application
acceleration products with forthcoming NVM Express support.

LSI HA-DAS solutions are expected to be available
in 4Q2012
