LSI Logic Teams With VERITAS Software to Deliver Industry Leading Ultra160 Raid Performance Symbios(R) Nextreme(TM) RAID is an Easy-to-Install, Mirrored, Bootable RAID Solution That Reduces Total Cost of Ownership and Increases I/O Performance In Workstations and Dedicated Task Servers MILPITAS, Calif., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI), a leader in high-performance I/O solutions, today announced it has teamed with VERITAS Software Corporation (Nasdaq: VRTS), the industry's leading enterprise-class application storage management software provider, to offer a high performing RAID solution. Designed for workstations and specialized servers, Symbios(R) Nextreme(TM) RAID is based on the enterprise-class disk management software, VERITAS Volume Manager(TM), which leverages the Logical Disk Manager of VERITAS Volume Manager to create an easy-to-use, richly featured total storage solution. First demonstrated at Fall COMDEX(SM), Nextreme RAID creates a total motherboard or host adapter RAID solution without requiring additional hardware plug-in options. The solution improves total system performance, accelerates applications, lowers total cost of ownership and offers hassle-free installation and configuration. "VERITAS is a formidable industry leader and LSI Logic is excited about our newly created partnership," said Bill Wuertz, vice president and general manager, LSI Logic Storage Components Division. "VERITAS Software's de facto storage management interface, combined with LSI Logic's innovative software and component solutions, creates a compelling RAID offering for Ultra160 SCSI." "By working together with LSI Logic, we are at the forefront of delivering a cost-effective, bootable RAID solution that meets increased performance and data protection needs," said Steve Colman, vice president of worldwide OEM operations, VERITAS Software. "This product is innovative because it provides workstation users with RAID functionality in an area in which RAID storage systems were considered cost prohibitive." The Nextreme RAID product is composed of the SYM53C1010 Ultra160 SCSI controller along with RAID enabled BIOS and VERITAS Volume Manager. This powerful combination has demonstrated workstation I/O performance improvements in excess of 40 percent in single drive implementations, (Winbench99 high-end, improvement measured over standard SCSI single disk configuration). Additional performance increases can be realized by striping data across multiple drives while ensuring high data availability. The Nextreme RAID will be available first quarter of 2000.
