"In 2011, SAS continued to further its entrenchment into Enterprise storage expanding significantly into host connectivity, clustering, high performance SSDs, as well as caching and tiering within the Cloud," said Harry Mason, president of the SCSI Trade Association and director of Industry Marketing for LSI Corporation. "12Gb/s SAS was also announced in 2011 and the technology is progressing as anticipated. For 2012, expect significant market movement toward broad based 12Gb/s SAS adoption and more developments from STA in support of PCIe based storage and improved connectivity.
