Quad port Serial Attached Disk Controller on a single PMC board
Concurrent Technologies announces one of the first PMC based, quad port, serial attached disk-storage adaptors suitable for CompactPCI® or VME platforms. The SC PMC/SA1 is a single size PMC card that provides four independent Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and/or Serial ATA (SATA) ports utilizing the LSI Logic® LSISAS1064 serial drive controller. Serial drive controllers that provide SAS are capable of data transfer rates of up to 3Gbits/s per interface whilst leveraging existing SCSI protocols. The result is a higher-performance interface with reduced software development resulting in reduced system integration time.
