LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced it will demonstrate the iMegaRAID family, a new product line that enables the construction of iSCSI storage products using x86 Linux platforms and LSI Logic MegaRAID® SATA storage adapters. iMegaRAID kits include the MegaRAID SATA 300-8X or the SATA 300-8XLP (low profile).

iMegaRAID™ family addresses the iSCSI computing needs for a variety of environments and applications and provides system builders and OEMs with a unique opportunity to design cost-effective, robust IP-SAN appliances, near-line storage and entertainment servers (music/video)

“The iMegaRAID family was created to provide OEMs and system builders with a highly flexible component for iSCSI appliance design,” said Steve Looby, senior product manager, LSI Logic RAID Storage Adapters Division. “This cost-effective iSCSI RAID solution allows customers to build an iSCSI appliance featuring iSCSI path redundancy, bandwidth scaling and port segmentation and select the components appropriate to meet appliance performance needs and cost goals, such as CPU, memory, number of Ethernet ports and 1.5 Gb/s or 3Gb/s SATA disks.”
