Product Description
The Intel® RAID Controller SRCU42X
is a PCI-X, dual-channel, Ultra320 SCSI RAID controller based on
Intel® XScale™ technology
High-availability, high-capacity applications require a delicate
blend of power and flexibility. Embedded systems, complex
networking solutions, and other I/O-intensive applications demand
a storage solution delivering generous throughput rates and data
protection for high-availability server environments.
That solution is the Intel® RAID Controller SRCU42X, which offers
dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI technology along with the advanced I/O
processing technology of the Intel® IOP321 I/O processor. This
makes the RAID Controller SRCU42X one of the few RAID controllers
in the industry to offer integrators the remarkably high
throughput supported by a PCI-X interface as well as the
performance, power efficiency, and flexibility of the Intel®
XScale™ technology.
With its 133MHz PCI-X interface, the RAID Controller SRCU42X
achieves up to 1 GB per second maximum throughput. Its 400MHz
Intel IOP321 processor offers a maximum throughput up to 1.6 GB
per second and also supports up to 512MB of PC1600 ECC DDR SDRAM.
In addition, a new software suite based on PCI-X simplifies
configuration, diagnostics, and firmware updates and enables
integrators to offer a full set of RAID options at entry-level
price points.
