LSI Logic has introduced a new family of storage systems
for small and medium-sized businesses, offering shared data
storage, unified management and data protection.
The Engenio 1333 and 1331 models have SAS-to-SAS external RAID
arrays for a shared DAS (direct attached
storage) infrastructure. They are available as both single- and
dual-controller platforms.
Managed by the Simplicity Storage Manager software, the systems
have an intuitive, task-based management structure that
significantly reduces the complexity of installation,
configuration, management and diagnostic tasks, according to
LSI.
Capacity of the model 1331 and 1333 systems ranges from a
two-drive configuration with 146Gbytes of storage to a 48-drive
configuration offering 14Tbytes of storage using 300Gbyte SAS
drives.
