LSI Breaks Million IOPS Performance Barrier

LSI Corporation (NYSE: LSI) has announced it is demonstrating its next-generation 12Gb/s SAS RAID-on-Chip (ROC) technology this week, at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco.

"Integrating the latest enhancements in SAS and PCI Express technology, as well as innovative LSI hardware acceleration engines, the LSI SAS ROC is designed to provide the I/O performance required to take full advantage of the performance benefits of enterprise-class solid-state drives (SSDs) and server platforms based on the forthcoming PCI Express 3.0 specification.

"Based on LSI's fourth-generation SAS architecture, the 12Gb/s SAS ROC delivers a 57 percent improvement in IOPS performance and a 45 percent increase in I/O throughput compared to the previous-generation 6Gb/s SAS ROC. To achieve one million IOPS using the previous-generation product would have required multiple SAS ROCs and twelve hard disk drives, resulting in higher hardware acquisition costs and increased power, cooling and space requirements. Integration of the 12Gb/s SAS ROC into next-generation PCI Express 3.0-based systems is expected to deliver even higher performance levels."
