PMC-Sierras new maxSAS products

PMC-Sierra, Inc. today announced that for the fast-growing blade server market maxSAS storage family, the latest products PM8399 SXP 24x3GSec and IS61C256AH-12J datasheet and PM8398 SXP 36x3GSec SAS switching chips. Blade servers in enterprise data centers are being rapidly deployed, and IS61C256AH-12J price and the traditional program compared to base-mounted, blade servers significantly reduce rack space, power and IS61C256AH-12J suppliers and management costs. PMC-Sierras SAS switching products provide zoning and security features that enable a new generation of blade servers based on end-SAS electronic structure, significant savings over the cost of current switching solutions (see Figure 1). SXP 24x3GSec and SXP 36x3GSec SAS expander switches to achieve ANSI INCITS T10 SAS-2 Zoning, is the industrys first to support this innovative switching technology products, the agreement by the PMC-Sierra and Hewlett Packard for the development.

"Quanta Computer has been working closely with PMC-Sierra SAS blade server development package," Quanta Computer Inc. Enterprise and Storage Business Unit Vice President Mike Yang said. "PMC-Sierras partition and the industry-leading safety performance, Quanta take this framework can provide first-class products, cost structure while also very competitive."

"PMC-Sierra and some of the industrys leading companies and T10 standards committee work closely together to ensure that the SAS has been successfully applied in the market," PMC-Sierra, vice president and general manager of Enterprise Storage Division, said Mark Stibitz. "Our maxSAS products have been widely used for more than 50 networks and server-attached storage system applications. In SXP 24x3GSec and SXP 36x3GSec SAS switch behind the partition, is the PMC of the protocols, networks and in-depth understanding of signal integrity, and customers will used in our products based on SAS / SATA system design success. "

SAS partition standardization to facilitate industry-wide application
PMC-Sierra Joint Hewlett-Packard in May 2005 to the ANSI INCITS T10 Committee (www.t10.org) SAS partition proposal was submitted, T10 SAS Committee agreed to set up working group to SAS-2 standard to complete the formulation of internal norms. SAS Working Group Division led by the PMC, and with the support of industry-leading server OEM.

SAS SAS district agreement for all of the physical structure of flexible and efficient access control, and its features include:
· access control to shared network resources partition divided into different working groups
· security policies to limit between different groups access to
· extended single switch configuration, and regulatory
· backward compatible, and existing SAS controllers, host bus and the disk drive array operation is transparent.
