Microchip and Kioxia Complete 24Gb SAS End-to-End Storage Interoperability Testing
Using 24Gb SAS SSDs, SmartROC 3200 PCIe gen 4 Tri-Mode RAID On Chip controller, SmartIOC 2200 I/O controller, and SXP 24Gb SAS expander
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on June 26, 2020 at 2:22 pmMicrochip Technology, Inc. and Kioxia America, Inc. announced the completion of 24Gb SAS end-to-end storage interoperability testing.
24Gb SAS infrastructure delivers improved performance, security and reliability to data center, cloud, hyperscale and enterprise server/storage customers while preserving existing investments in SAS infrastructure.
This interoperability testing demonstrates that Microchip’s suite of 24Gb SAS products and Kioxia 24Gb SAS SSDs can be utilized together as part of next-gen storage solutions. The company’s 24G bSAS tested products included the SmartROC 3200 PCIe Gen 4 Tri-Mode RAID On Chip (ROC) controller, the SmartIOC 2200 Input/Output Controller (IOC), and the SXP 24G SAS expander. New server and storage systems can be deployed utilizing these components that increase system performance while maintaining backward compatibility with existing infrastructure.
Created to complement the latest PCIe Gen 4 data center I/O specs, the 24Gb SAS (SAS-4/SPL-5) standard doubles the storage interconnect bandwidth of the prior SAS standard, eliminates bottlenecks at the CPU host interface, and allows more efficient use of both new and legacy storage infrastructure. 24Gb SAS includes Forward Error Correction (FEC) that supports the range of enterprise-quality server/storage use cases while minimizing system costs.
