Local mass storage specialist, SCSI Technology, is set to satisfy market demand for greater capacity and higher performance from disk subsystems with a new range of products that use the low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI interface for data transfer.
Jessy Naicker, MD of SCSI Technology, says the key lies in combining high performance Seagate disc drives and Mylex SCSI controllers with subsystems developed specifically to take advantage of LVD.
"We are now able to offer resellers an opportunity to provide customers with the latest in storage technology - one which delivers performance double that available from previous generations. Ideal to meet the growing requirement for more capacity, faster, these storage subsystems were designed specifically to take advantage of LVD."
The result is the first disk subsystem to use this technology and a solution for businesses deploying systems such as data warehousing, video-on-demand or any application requiring high speed access to vast quantities of data.
"This new interface standard [LVD] doubles data transfer rates (to 80 MB/sec) and eliminates the cabling constraints that previously limited storage subsystems," says Naicker.
Not wishing to go into too much detail about the technology he says resellers will be given ample opportunity to learn more about the new subsystems at the free half-day seminars SCSI Technology has scheduled for June.
"We are bringing several international speakers out from both Seagate Technology and Mylex to explain some of the points of LVD as well as how a local company has managed to deliver high capacity so fast."
Interested resellers and corporate IT buyers should contact SCSI Technology to book their seat at the seminars (Johannesburg - 23 June; and Cape Town 25 June).
