Technology demos at TechEd showcase HA-DAS solutions providing continuous application uptime at a fraction of the cost and complexity of existing solutions
ORLANDO, Fla. - TECHED CONFERENCE, LSI Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced that it has begun sampling to select server manufacturers its high-availability direct-attached storage (HA-DAS) solutions for Microsoft Windows® Server platforms. LSI® HA-DAS solutions are designed to provide small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) and cloud datacenter customers with increased application availability and uptime while decreasing the complexity and costs of shared storage based on existing high-availability solutions.
LSI HA-DAS solutions are being featured at Microsoft's TechEd Technical Learning Center, which marks the first time that a group of companies is working together to show HA-DAS in a Cluster-in-a-Box (CiB) environment. This configuration is designed to:
- Provide continuous, high-availability servers and storage for critical business applications
- Fill the gap between limited single-node servers and enterprise-level scale-out servers
- Offer multiple server nodes and storage in a customizable, easy-to-deploy chassis
"The massive growth in data and the need for continuous uptime have increased the need for high-availability server systems," said Thomas Pfenning, general manager, Server Storage and Availability, Microsoft. "Together, LSI HA-DAS solutions and Windows Server can provide the necessary availability and uptime benefits found in traditional high-availability systems, while also being easier to manage and more cost-effective."
The CiB solution at TechEd uses LSI HA-DAS technology, and MegaRAID® SAS controllers will be featured in a series of public demonstrations, each focused on a unique aspect of the HA-DAS solution.
