Represent First Two Entries of ATA RAID for Enterprise Storage Product Division
Milpitas, Calif. [January 7, 2002] - Promise Technology, Inc. announced today that its FastTrak100™ ATA RAID controller chipset is now available on one of two SKUs for the Intel® Server Board SCB2 and Intel® Server Chassis SR1200 (1U rackmount).
The FastTrak100™ supports up to 4 standard Ultra ATA/100 drives with up to 100MB/sec burst data transfers and provides RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, and JBOD.
Intel is offering two product configurations of its rack-optimized SCB2 Server Board -- either with the Promise FastTrak100 chipset for ATA/100 RAID or available with Ultra160 SCSI. The SCB2 is specifically designed for use with Intel's SR1200 (1U) and SR2200 (2U) high-density rackmount chassis, or in third party reference chassis. The server board supports dual Intel® Pentium III processors with 512K cache, dual 64-bit/66MHz buses, single 32-bit/33MHz bus, and six DIMM slots for up to 6GB of ECC SDRAM.
When included on the Intel Server Board SCB2, Promise FastTrak100 supports two-drive RAID 1 mirroring for maintaining data and server operation in the event of a drive failure or two-drive RAID 0 striping for increased storage capacity and improved data transfer performance.
"Intel has recognized the value of Promise ATA RAID, specifically to satisfy the demands of server platforms that want data storage solutions that are fast, reliable, and affordable." Said Sam Sirisena, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Promise Technology, Inc.
!!±The Intel Server Board SCB2 is our basic building block for enterprise professionals looking to build servers with storage that's reliable and highly available," said Kirk Skaugen, General Manager for Intel's Enterprise Platforms and Services Division.
