Companies Complete Compatibility Testing on SATA 3Gb/s RAID 6
Controllers MILPITAS, Calif., March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Maxtor Corporation (NYSE:MXO) and Promise Technology announced
today that Maxtor(R) Atlas(R) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and
MaXLine(R) Serial ATA hard drives are qualified with the Promise
VTrak J300s JBOD system, combining to provide customers with
ultimate flexibility and choice for their application needs. The
companies have also completed compatibility testing of the Promise
SuperTrak EX8300 and EX8350 Serial ATA (SATA) 3 Gb/s RAID 6
controllers with the Maxtor MaXLine family of enterprise SATA hard
drives, enabling system integrators and resellers to develop
SATA-based storage systems for high-capacity, cost-effective
storage for data protection and reference data applications. The
Promise VTrak J300s is a cost-effective, 2U-high JBOD storage
system, supporting up to 12 3.5-inch form factor high-performance
Maxtor Atlas SAS drives, high-capacity MaXLine SATA drives or a
combination of both. With the Promise VTrak J300s customers can
install Atlas 15K II drives for random I/O applications such as
OLTP, ERP/CRM and video on demand, which require the fast
performance. For capacity hungry applications such as disk-to-disk
backup or reference storage, customers can install MaXLine Pro 500
drives into the Promise system for a capacity up to 6TB. Systems
for applications requiring a balance of performance and capacity
can be populated with the Atlas 10K V drives. The VTrak J300s
system also can be populated with a combination of Atlas SAS and
MaXLine SATA drives, enabling tiered storage in a box, while
delivering flexibility, advanced data protection features,
redundant components and high-speed bandwidth to help ensure
maximum data storage reliability. "Enterprise IT professionals
demand powerful storage solutions for high-bandwidth and high I/O
applications. Promise, in our leadership role in the development of
standards-based building blocks, is working with Maxtor to create
such solutions; Maxtor's SAS and SATA drives teamed with our JBOD
create powerful solutions for high-bandwidth and high-I/O
applications," said Suresh Panikar, vice president of WW channel
sales and marketing at Promise Technology, Inc. "SAS technology is
the key enabler, delivering flexible storage to meet a wide range
of business needs." Promise controllers teamed with Maxtor SATA
hard drives help developers create a high-capacity storage system
with advanced RAID features for greater data protection and
management. "Maxtor and Promise continue to work closely together
to test and qualify complementary products such as hard drives,
host bus adapters and storage systems," said Brendan Collins, vice
president of enterprise products marketing at Maxtor. "This helps
