Intel® RAID Controller SRCSAS144E
A High Performance, Mid-Range PCI-E SAS RAID Controller
Product Overview
Outstanding Performance and Reliability at a Low Cost
Growing businesses need improved storage systems for ever-expanding data and information. Increased reliability of critical systems, keeping a database online regardless of failures, data loss prevention, and accelerated access to information are critical needs for business success today. In addition, improved performance and scalability are required to help meet expanding needs and provide a flexible approach to system management.
The Intel® RAID Controller SRCSAS144E is a low profile card that addresses both internal and external storage requirements while providing point-to-point connections for greater performance and reliability. With support for both Serial ATA
(SATA) and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) devices, this controller gives businesses the ability to customize RAID solutions.
A standardized server and storage infrastructure helps lower the total cost of ownership. The SAS interface provides universal interconnect with Serial ATA, while still offering logical
SCSI compatibility. In addition, this design delivers the reliability, performance and manageability available in SAS drives.
The Intel RAID Controller SRCSAS144E supports RAID 0, 1, 5,
10, and 50 and enclosure management simplifies long-term server operation and maintenance. Auto rebuild, remote Web- based management of the RAID array through the Intel®
RAID Web Console 2 utility, and both online capacity expansion and RAID-level migration make this an ideal solution for easier IT management. The controller provides seamless upward migration from Software RAID up through Intelligent
RAID solutions, and will support RAID 6 post-launch.
Next-generation management capabilities include extensive automation and an intuitive user interface. The Intel RAID
Controller SRCSAS144E ships with the Intel® RAID BIOS
Console 2, Intel® RAID Web Console 2, and Intel® Command
Line Utilities.
