SCSI Inflection Point: The New Era of Serial Attached SCSI (184 KB, PDF)

Even the best of technologies eventually find themselves supplanted by newer, more advanced solutions. Parallel SCSI has been the bedrock of enterprise storage for more than two decades, but recently the limitations of its parallel, shared-bus architecture have become problematic. In this article, the fourth in a monthly series of technology papers Seagate plans to publish, you will learn why Serial Attached SCSI is ideally suited to expand the role of SCSI in the enterprise.

SAS Binds Complementary Solutions
By melding serial performance and scalability with existing SCSI environments, SAS adds new freedom to storage solutions while maintaining the long-standing foundation on which enterprise storage was built.
Accelerates storage performance compared to Parallel SCSI
Ensures data integrity
Preserves IT investments
Enables system design flexibility with SATA drives in a single enclosure

Boasting features that liberate SCSI from its parallel predecessor, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) delivers new levels of breakthrough speed and connectivity while retaining the functionality and reliability that has made SCSI the premier enterprise storage I/O standard for over two decades.
