External RAID
At LSI, we're proud of our long-standing reputation for superior high-performance storage technology for data-intensive, multi-vendor environments. Our demonstrated record of technology leadership includes numerous storage industry firsts, beginning with co-development of the SCSI industry specification (1981), the first feature-rich RAID controller implementing RAID 5 (1991), the first Fibre Channel RAID storage system (1996), SATA enterprise storage system (2003), 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel storage system (2005), SAS-to-SAS storage system (2006) and 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel storage system (2008). LSI host-interface breadth also goes unmatched in the industry with selections now ranging from iSCSI to SAS to Fibre Channel to InfiniBand.
Engenio storage systems are the culmination of a vast storage heritage combining mature architectures, intelligent designs, and feature-rich software into solutions designed specifically for open systems.
Benefits include:
-
Robust, yet intuitive, storage management software that ensures complete control over your rapidly growing storage environment.
-
“Real-world” performance that's equally adept at satisfying transaction-heavy and bandwidth-intensive applications and optimized to meet the diverse and concurrent workloads created by consolidation/virtualization.
-
Fully-redundant I/O paths, automated failover and online administration create "always-on" availability to keep your data accessible.
-
Modular architecture and unparalleled efficiencies help lower acquisition and operational costs by meeting performance and configuration requirements with minimal raw capacity.
-
Support for intermixing high-performance and high-capacity disk drives enables a single Engenio storage system to satisfy primary and secondary storage requirements.
LSI develops and delivers storage products and technology to a wide variety of partners who provide storage solutions to end-customers.
