MILPITAS, Calif. -- March 12, 2003 -LSI
Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI), announced certification
today for its 2Gb/s Fibre Channel host bus adapter
(HBA), the LSI44929O, with Advanced Digital
Information Corporation’s (NASDAQ: ADIC)
Scalar® series storage networking tape library
systems. The LSI Logic HBA, with its Fusion-MPT™
(Message Passing Technology) architecture, offers
industry-leading performance, efficiency, and
versatility, enterprise-class feature support
and proven interoperability (http://interop.lsilogic.com).
"ADIC is pleased to be working actively
with LSI Logic to expand the range of proven,
interoperable solutions available to the IT
community” said Bryce Hein, ADIC executive
director, Storage Networking Business Line.
“The combination of the LSI44929O and
Scalar storage networking libraries assures
customers of a proven solution that delivers
the kind of reliability and performance needed
to keep up with the continual increase in data
volume at all levels of the enterprise."
ADIC’s Scalar series storage networking
libraries increase the performance, reliability,
and manageability of Storage Area Network (SAN)
backup by including integrated SAN connectivity,
data path conditioning and performance optimization.
The LSI44929O and other LSI Logic 64-Bit Fibre
Channel HBAs with Fusion-MPT architecture are
ideal for high-performance SAN applications
such as tape backup and for data-intensive applications
such as data warehousing, digital media and
data mining. Both the single channel LSI40919O
and the dual channel operate at speeds up to
2Gb/s and are fully backward compatible. LSI
Logic Fibre Channel HBAs offer high bandwidth,
CPU offload, and low I/O latency for maximizing
SAN performance.
"Certifying our performance-rich family
of Fibre Channel storage adapters with ADIC’s
family of Scalar storage networking libraries
gives customers powerful new options,"
said Charlie Kraus, director of marketing and
product management for LSI Logic's HBA Division.
"The LSI449290 works with the Scalar series’
integrated storage networking capabilities to
give unprecedented data transfer rates and robust
overall system operation."
ADIC's Scalar storage networking libraries
are the first in the industry specifically designed
to increase the speed and reliability of data
transfer in a SAN. They feature integrated Fibre
Channel connectivity for direct fabric connection,
proactive checks of the entire data path—from
each HBA to individual tape drives—allowing
users to identify and correct system faults
before the backup begins, and performance optimization
to improve tape drives' streaming performance.
Scalar libraries range in capacity from 24 to
more than 15,000 tape cartridges and from 2
to several hundred drives.
LSI Logic Storage Components Group supplies
a full spectrum of ASICs, ICs, storage and RAID
adapters and bus expanders worldwide through
distribution channel partners such as Arrow
Electronics, Avnet, Bell Microproducts, Ingram-Micro,
Insight Electronics, Synnex and Tech Data.
