Company supports users of SATA through partnership and enhanced product capabilities
January 30, 2006, Longmont, Colo. - Kozio, Inc., the leading provider of advanced embedded functional test and diagnostics capabilities ideally suited for board bring-up, manufacturing test and power-on self-test, today announced support for Promise Technology's (www.promise.com) Serial ATA (SATA) controllers. Kozio delivers turnkey test software providing complete data path validation including chip initialization, driver code, automatic drive discovery, reads/writes and data validation. Kozio enhanced its I/O Engine(TM) to generate traffic that enables full data path validation and performance analysis for SATA configurations. This enables customers to quickly validate new storage products using SATA controllers, saving time and effort and improving reliability. Kozio's I/O Engine(TM) feature is available with its kDiagnostics(TM) product for interactive board testing.
"With Kozio's experience in the storage industry, it is natural for us to work with Promise Technology's SATA controllers", says Al Arendt, Kozio's director of sales. "Our I/O Engine(TM) is the first commercial product that gives engineers the ability to test Serial ATA performance from their custom board at true speeds."
Kozio broadens its line of supported technology for its production-ready embedded software products, enabling customers to quickly validate new board designs and products. Kozio's products are the perfect solution for companies looking to save development effort while streamlining the process of preparing production-ready processor boards and manufactured products with increased reliability.
Kozio's work with Promise Technology, the originator and global leader in Serial ATA (SATA) RAID data protection and storage solutions, enables the company to assist customers developing products using Promise ASICs, reducing their test development time and cost. Serial ATA, the next -generation internal storage interconnect, brings greater speed, simpler upgrades and easier configuration compared to storage devices based on the Parallel ATA physical storage interface.
Support for your custom hardware platform using a Promise Technology SATA controller or Intel SATA controller is now available. As with all Kozio products, software can be customized to meet specific customer requirements.
