LSI, Seagate Ally For PCI Express-Based Enterprise Solid State Storage Solns

LSI Corporation has announced collaboration with Seagate Technology to deliver robust, PCI Express (PCIe)-based solid-state storage (SSS) solutions for data centre and cloud computing environments. Through this joint effort, LSI is expected to deliver board-level products that integrate LSI SAS and PCIe technology with Seagate solid-state drive (SSD) technology.

“LSI is uniquely positioned to execute a broad solid-state storage strategy,” said Jeff Richardson, Executive VP andGM, Semiconductor Solutions Group, LSI. “We’re already deeply engaged in delivering solid-state storage technologies, from custom silicon to storage systems. Entering the emerging PCIe-based SSS market segment is a natural extension of our core competencies. 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.”

“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,” said David Mosley, Executive VP, Sales, Marketing, and Product Line Management, Seagate. “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. 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.”
