Introduction to LSI™ The LSI portfolio of storage solutions now includes 3ware® controller cards which means that all of the finest storage adapters are now available from one single vendor. As the world’s No. 1 provider of RAID controllers in the channel, our commitment to channel partners starts at the top, reaches throughout the company and is backed by the industry’s most complete selection of SATA and SAS RAID controllers and host bus adapters (HBAs).
MegaRAID® SATA+SAS As storage demands continue to grow, the cost, performance, security and energy efficiency of your storage components are even more important. With every MegaRAID product, LSI delivers value in our four cornerstones of leadership: Features and Usability, Data Protection and Availability, Performance, and Green. LSI offers a complete selection of 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s SATA+SAS MegaRAID controller cards for direct attached storage (DAS) connectivity.
MegaRAID SATA+SAS Feature Line Providing the ultimate in performance and scalability, the MegaRAID SATA+SAS feature line offers 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s transfer rates, external connectivity, and maximum device support for external SATA and SAS enclosures.
MegaRAID SATA+SAS SATA+S Value Line The MegaRAID SATA+SAS value line offers a mix of value and performance for internal SATA and SAS systems. These products feature 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s transfer rates, internal connectivity and support for both SATA and SAS drives.
MegaRAID g SATA+SAS Entry Line LS MegaRAID® SATA+SAS entry controller cards allow small to medium business owners and gaming enthusiasts LSI to enjoy the latest RAID technology at affordable prices with low power consumption. This product line delivers trusted MegaRAID reliability with minimal maintenance effort. MegaRAID entry controller cards offer users a tr straight-forward st solution that includes essential RAID levels and uncomplicated configuration options.
3ware® SATA+SAS High Performance SATA+SAS RAID Controllers 3ware builds on an established SATA leadership with the 3ware SAS 9750 and 9690SA controller cards, featuring high-performance RAID. 3ware pioneered the way for SATA and now capitalizes on time-proven serial storage expertise to take users from SCSI to SAS in sequential I/O intensive and multi-stream environments.
3ware 9750 SATA+SA SATA+SAS Product Line LSI™ 3ware 6Gb/s SATA+SAS RAID controller cards provide a new level of reliability, availability, and performance to businesses that are facing storage challenges, particularly in sequential I/O intensive and multi-stream environments. These 3ware controllers employ the latest in RAID-on-Chip technology and provides a higher standard of data protection and performance through advanced processes.
3ware 9690SA Product Line Advanced 3ware RAID architecture and new performance features rocket the 9690SA to RAID 5 and RAID 6 performance heights. With StreamFusion™+ firmware, 3ware’s advanced processes allow for optimized reads and writes in multi-stream environments and superior throughput even in degraded modes to provide a higher standard of data protection and performance.
3ware 9650SE 50SE Prod Product Line 3ware’s 9650SE SATA II hardware RAID controllers deliver industry-leading RAID performance, robust fault tolerance, and multi-terabyte capacities. A PCI Express host interface, Multi-lane™ connectivity, StorSwitch architecture, and sophisticated SATA II features drive this unrivaled performance.
Host Bus Adapter SATA+SAS External and Combo Product Line L SATA+SAS External and Combo HBAs deliver superior performance and external connectivity that satisfies LSI both SAS and SATA requirements. Providing extreme scalability, these adapters support a high number of physical b devices and are optimal for large-capacity server storage for RAID and non-RAID enclosures. LSI SAS HBAs are able d tto connect to SATA and SAS hard disk drives, allowing for tiered storage that optimizes costs and performance.
Host Bus Adapter p SATA+SAS Internal Product Line LSI SATA+SAS Internal Connectivity HBAs provide a high-performance, low-cost solution that satisfies both SAS and SATA requirements. Optimal for servers and workstations needing ultra high-speed data transfers, these adapters deliver high-throughput and maximum air-flow for internal storage needs.
Host Bus Adapter SCSI Product Line LSI offers legacy products, such as Ultra160 HBAs, as well as advanced single and dual channel SCSI solutions with Integrated RAID. LSI PCI Express SCSI HBAs provide the speed and bandwidth required by today’s data intensive applications and are compatible with newer hardware in the marketplace. From peripheral connectivity to storage integration, LSI puts SCSI connectivity where you need it.
Host Bus Adapter Fibre Fibr Channel Product Line Fibre Channel (FC) is a technology for constructing storage area networks (SANs). When deployed with fibre optic links, FC networks allow users to establish a centralized pool of storage with cable lengths that span rooms, floors or inter-building separations between server and storage. FC is an optimal connection technology choice when applications require low latency or high bandwidth such as video editing, backup/restore, and data mining.
