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) and SAS-to-SAS storage system. LSI host-interface breadth also goes unmatched in the industry with selections now ranging from iSCSI to SAS to Fibre Channel and 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.
-
Industry-leading performance that’s equally adept at satisfying transaction-heavy and bandwidth-intensive applications.
-
Fully-redundant I/O paths, automated failover and online administration create "always-on" availability to keep your data accessible.
-
Modular "pay-as-you-grow" scalability lowers acquisition and expansion costs by enabling you to buy only what you need when you need it.
-
3 Gb/s SAS host interface technology offers shared direct attachment to individual hosts
-
4 Gb/s Fibre Channel, 20 Gb/s InfiniBand and 1 Gb/s iSCSI interface technology supports direct attachment to individual hosts or attachment to storage area networks (SANs).
-
Support for high-performance Fibre Channel, SAS and high-capacity SATA 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.
