SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flash Memory Summit -- Uniquely qualified to handle data storage transfer in even the largest of data centers, 24G Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) technology will be in the spotlight at the 2018 Flash Memory Summit (FMS), both in the SCSI Trade Association’s (STA’s) booth #708 and in the Association’s panel session on August 8 at 4:40 pm.
“The inherent scalability, reliability and per lane bandwidth of 24G SAS has generated excitement in the storage industry,” said Rick Kutcipal, president, STA and marketing manager, Broadcom Inc. “The robust error handling capabilities of 24G SAS enable incomparable availability that is proven over three generations of the technology. When data corruption is not an option, storage professionals rely on SAS.”
STA is a bronze sponsor of the 2018 FMS and will be displaying 24G SAS technology from multiple vendors in booth #708 in the Santa Clara Convention Center. During a panel presentation scheduled on Wednesday, August 9, Rick Kutcipal, president of STA will lead a discussion with industry experts on 24G SAS and how the technology satisfies the need for tremendous bandwidth, as well as the increasing IOPS requirement for big data analytics and scale-out storage in today’s datacenter.
