FOSE 2010 “SAS & SATA Change the Face of Enterprise Storage”

(March 2010 – pdf)

OEMs, System Builders, and End-Users are deploying the feature-rich capabilities of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) to extend Direct Access Storage (DAS) architectures beyond the traditional usage models. Functioning as a storage solution backbone, SAS allows large numbers of either SAS and/or SATA hard disk drives to be deployed in a variety of storage application environments, effectively extending SAS into new storage realms.
