Building Storage Systems using SAS and SATA Technologies

Access to the webinar requires registration on PMC-Sierra's website and approval to view this webinar.

What to Expect

Rapid growth in data storage needs is driving enterprises, and small and medium-sized businesses toward tiered storage strategies. This, in turn, is forcing a requirement for more cost-effective and larger capacity storage systems. Products based on recently ratified standards, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA), are enabling technologies for building storage system architectures that meet these new cost and capacity needs.

This webinar will:

• provide a tutorial on the SAS standard including routing methods, STP, SMP and SSP
• describe various storage architectures and their trade-offs using SAS Expanders, SAS and SATA Hard Disk Drives
• discuss system considerations when building SAS-based storage systems
