AIC Ships the World's First SAS/SATA Storage Server Chassis With SFF8087-based Backplane

07/31/2006 10:32:00 AM GMT

CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA, July 31st, 2006 - Advanced Industrial Computer, Inc. (AIC) announced today the shipping of SA1-0 series Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) storage server chassis. This entry-level non-expander based SAS server chassis series features the latest 36-ckt Mini-SAS connector (SFF-8087) on its SAS backplanes, to replace the bigger predecessors SFF-8484 and SFF-8470 InfiniBand connectors. SA1-0 series is a cost-effective solution for high performance SAS or SATA Multilane solutions. Many of the controller manufacturers are already shipping SAS and SATA controllers with SFF-8087 connectors to allow lower form factor or higher port count. By using the same connector on the backplane, cabling will be simplified and cost will be reduced. Although this is an entry-level design, an optional Storage Enclosure Processor (SEP) version will be available for enclosure management needs.
