TYAN Now Bundling Dot Hill RAIDCore Virtual RAID Adapter Technology with Six of its Six-Core AMD Based Server Platforms In its first major motherboard design win for the RAIDCore Virtual RAID Adapter (VRA) technology this year, Dot Hill Systems today announced that TYAN, an industry-leading server platform provider which is part of MiTAC International Corp. , has selected Dot Hill RAIDCore VRA technology to be featured in its newest server platforms. TYAN is now shipping worldwide six new server platforms based on the Six-Core AMD Opteron processor and AMD SP5100 Southbridge chipset, all of which now include RAIDCore Basic VRA solutions as standard. With support for Linux and Windows, Dot Hill RAIDCore VRA solutions provide end-user customers with an inexpensive alternative to hardware-based RAID that is built right into the server. Users who want more advanced capabilities can upgrade to the full-featured RAIDCore VST through a simple, software-based licensing scheme. This upgrade, which includes RAID 1n/10n (multi-volume mirroring), distributed sparing and additional migration features, enables full enterprise-class virtual RAID for significantly less than a conventional hardware RAID adapter card. "TYAN continues to add value to its AMD-based server platform," said Albert Mu, vice president of Enterprise Business Unit of MiTAC International Corporation. "In addition to superior energy efficiency and outstanding performance, the TYAN Six-Core AMD Opteron-based platform now delivers enterprise-level RAID functionality standard through Dot Hill RAIDCore VRA and the ability to easily and inexpensively upgrade to the more sophisticated RAID capabilities of RAIDCore VST." "Six-Core AMD Opteron processors and the AMD SP5100 Southbridge chip set deliver the performance that makes server-based RAID incredibly practical," said Andy Mills, vice president of marketing, Dot Hill. "TYAN customers can now implement RAID protection for their server storage without sacrificing performance and without investing in a hardware RAID controller."
