Adaptec by PMC and Seagate to Showcase High Performance
| Sunnyvale, Calif.—Aapril 8, 2013—PMC®(Nasdaq: PMCS), the semiconductor innovator transforming networks that connect, move and store big data, announced today that Adaptec® by PMC is collaborating with Seagate to showcase an end-to-end 12Gb/s SAS ecosystem storage solution as part of a full storage product portfolio the company is highlighting at IDF Beijing, on April 10-11, 2013.The demonstration showcase first-to-market 12Gb/s SAS Raid on Chip (ROC) silicon using PMC's 16 port SRCv 12GB/s silicon (PMC PM8063) in a low profile MD2 form factor card. This configuration supports full 8 lane PCIe Gen3 bandwidth for simultaneous internal and external SAS/SATA device connectivity, showing sequential and random workloads. The adapter is connected to Seagate 12Gb/s SAS enterprise-class SSDs installed in a Chenbro 12 Gb/s 2U rackmount chassis. "PMC’s production-level 12Gb ROCs, expanders, and controllers have been shipping to our tier-1 system storage and server customers since November 2012,” said Derek Dicker, vice president of enterprise storage solutions at PMC. “PMC has a time-to-market advantage in sampling of our production-ready expanders, ROCs, and IOCs, and these solutions will enable our customers to get to market more quickly with this more mature/robust product.” Traditional datacenter solutions do not address density and performance challenges. The versatility and performance of these Adaptec 12Gb/s RAID solutions coupled with Seagate SSDs in Chenbro’s industry-leading chassis solutions being showcased during this demonstration will display the optimal IOPS and latency performance that can be gained by deploying SSDs in the datacenter as well as other high density storage environments.
