In Banglore: LSI Corporation has entered into a collaboration with Seagate Technology to deliver PCI Express-based solid-state storage (SSS) solutions for data center and cloud computing environments.
According to the company, the partnership is intended to deliver board-level products that integrate LSIT SAS and PCIe technology with Seagate solid-state drive (SSD) technology.
The products are designed to provide enterprise OEMs and channel partners with new levels of performance, reliability and ease of use while addressing architectural challenges that have limited SSS adoption, the press statement further informed.
"By building upon the industry's most widely deployed SAS software stack, OEMs and system builders will gain a proven, lower-risk path to market and continuity across technology generations," Jeff Richardson, executive vice president and general manager of Semiconductor Solutions Group at LSI said.
"IT professionals want server and storage solutions that can deliver the performance and efficiency benefits of solid-state technology without impacting system resources or further complicating already complex enterprise storage environments," David Mosley, executive vice president, sales, marketing, and product line management said.
"These new LSI products will accelerate enterprise application processing and help reduce I/O latency by using standards-based interfaces and protocols to minimise the impact to existing end user enterprise infrastructures," he said.
Mosely further added that "The collaboration extends Seagate's enterprise solid-state strategy, which is focused on delivering the best-fit solutions for IT using both traditional hard disk drives and solid-state storage."
According to LSI, the product samples are expected to be available to OEM customers in the second quarter of this year.
