SAS, Serial Attached SCSI

Serial connection—parallel access

SAS Seasoning for Your Storage Buffet

Looking to expand your peripherals with Serial Attached SCSI? We supply the right SAS essentials for every storage scenario.

As the serial evolution of SCSI, SAS ranks among the most important interfaces in storage. In its third generation, it already delivers 12 Gbit/s, with faster standards on the way.

Because SAS is a point-to-point connection, it offers a stable link that can be implemented with multiple connector types. Even so, SAS lets you network numerous components—hard drives, SSDs, tape drives, or entire storage systems. The spec even mandates that every SAS device receive its own globally unique address.

This iSCSI-to-SAS adapter connects individual tape drives - without servers - to the Ethernet over long distances. For example, it allows remote sharing of SAS tape drives via 10GbE Ethernet networks. The highlight: the sophisticated box achieves these services at a lower cost and at a higher speed than a comparable solution with separate servers.
Compared to native Ethernet band devices, this solution is also more cost-effective, as the administrator requires fewer switch ports overall. It is also more efficient, as power, cooling and cabling requirements can be reduced.

SAS storage with flexibility

SAS also supports operation through an expander, allowing you to cascade up to 128 endpoints over a single SAS cable. Even greater capacity is possible with an intermediate fan-out expander. Cable aggregation and dual porting further simplify management and boost system performance.

We supply everything an administrator needs for a SAS architecture: drives, controllers, switches, and, of course, all necessary cables.
