Low Profile, 16-Port, PCIe Gen3 HBA with Innovative Encryption Technology Provides Robust Cloud Computing Data Security The Adaptec Series 7H and 6H families of SAS/SATA HBAs provide customers with high-performance connectivity for hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), removable media and tape drives. The product family is ideally suited for high performance data center applications.
“This new Adaptec HBA family, with its embedded encryption technology,
higher port-count and higher performance, provides our customers with a
distinct competitive advantage over any other products currently in the
market,” said Leading I/O Performance with Series 7H HBAs Adaptec Series 7H HBAs, featuring PMC’s 16-port PM8018 6Gb/s I/O controller silicon and an x8 PCIe Gen3 interface, are the industry’s first to achieve more than 1 million IOPS with 512 byte blocks, and can also execute more than 800,000 IOPS with 4K blocks. Built-in support for MSI-X support allows the adapters to leverage multi-core host CPUs in order to boost application performance. This increased performance allows customers to harness the full potential of solid-state drives, enabling a host of low-latency applications. The PCIe Gen3 interface also doubles bandwidth to the host compared to the previous generation. With 16 SAS/SATA ports, these HBA products are the first to take full advantage of the maximum bandwidth. The Adaptec Series 7H HBAs are also the first in the industry to use mini SAS HD connectors, offering up to 16 native SAS/SATA ports in a low-profile MD2 form factor that is ideal for high-density servers. The new connectors can be combined with a wide range of Adaptec high-density SAS cables. Improved Data Security with Adaptec maxCrypto™ Encryption Technology
Data centers are experiencing explosive growth in data and storage
capacity, and Adaptec Series 7He HBAs feature Adaptec maxCrypto™
security technology, a 256 bit Connectivity Options with Series 6H HBAs Adaptec Series 6H HBAs utilize PMC’s 8-port PM8001 6Gb/s I/O controller silicon and x4 PCIe Gen2 interface to provide cost-efficient HBA solutions rated at more than 250,000 IOPS with 512 byte blocks and more than 200,000 IOPS with 4K blocks. Featuring a low-profile MD2 form factor, Series 6H HBAs fit into x4/x8/x16 PCIe slots and are available in 4- and 8-port (internal) options using standard mini SAS connectors. Both the Adaptec 6H and 7H product lines share common drivers and management tools, including drivers for Windows®, VMWare®, and open-source Linux.
“Security, performance, and dense I/O connectivity now rank among the
‘must-haves,’ and with datacenter space at a premium, simply continuing
to build up and out to scale is no longer a sustainable solution,” said
Availability The complete family of Adaptec Series 7 and Adaptec Series 6 HBAs will be available through Adaptec’s worldwide Distributors and storage channel partners in Q2 2013. For complete product details visit www.adaptec.com Editor’s Note
