PMC-Sierra Supplies 6Gb/s SAS RAID-on-Chip for HP Smart Array

PMC-Sierra is supplying its PM8011 SRC 8x6G 6Gb/s SAS RAID-on-Chip (RoC) for the new high-performance Smart Array RAID controller cards from HP. The PMC-Sierra's SRC RoC enables the next-generation 6Gb/s SAS RAID platform to more than double the performance of existing RAID solutions. The device's RoCstar architecture efficiently interconnects all device subsystems, eliminating internal bottlenecks and resource contentions.


PMC-Sierra said data center demands for higher computing power, networking bandwidth and support for virtualization applications are driving system requirements for improved host bus interface, input-output, and RAID performance.
