LSI Logic Storage Systems Selects HP'S TACHYON TL Fibre Channel Controller IC for Future-Generation Storage Controllers 10:58 a.m. Nov 30, 1998 Eastern PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 1998-- Hewlett-Packard Company today announced that LSI Logic Storage Systems, Inc., a leading supplier of world-class, high-performance RAID storage subsystems, has selected HP's TACHYON TL Fibre Channel controller for future-generation storage controllers. "In 1995, we brought to market the first RAID storage system with a Fibre Channel host interface using the HP TACHYON Fibre Channel controller," said Tom Georgens, president of LSI Logic Storage Systems, Inc. "We share a common goal with HP to provide high-performance Fibre Channel solutions that offer superior interoperability. The combination of HP's industry-leading Fibre Channel controllers and our industry-leading storage controller architectures enables us to satisfy the needs of the market for higher-capacity, faster and more reliable storage solutions." "LSI and HP are pioneers in the development of Fibre Channel solutions," said Julian Elliott, manager of HP's High Speed I/O Products business unit. "We are delighted that LSI has chosen to extend its alliance with HP to deliver next-generation Fibre Channel storage solutions." TACHYON TL Benefits TACHYON TL is optimized for mass-storage applications, including host-bus adapter cards and storage subsystems. It is FC-AL-2 compliant, supports Class 3 and Class 2 ACK_0 services, is capable of simultaneous initiator and target functionality, and operates in both private and public loops. TACHYON TL is capable of attaching directly to a fabric in N-port mode, a feature that sets TACHYON TL apart from competing controllers. TACHYON TL delivers leading-edge performance. In recent testing, it achieved more than 31,000 I/Os per second, the highest I/O rate achieved to date by any Fibre Channel protocol controller. Its high-performance features include fully automated SCSI command processing; full duplex support with simultaneous inbound and outbound frame processing; and multiple inbound sequence support, which delivers up to three times the performance of competing controllers in switched environments. TACHYON TL is highly interoperable, leveraging the mature, de facto standard TACHYON architecture, used by more than 50 OEM suppliers of Fibre Channel solutions, and Compaq's PCI architecture, used in Compaq computers. Because TACHYON TL does not require companion SRAM, it can be used to implement solutions that are more cost-effective because they use fewer components and occupy less board area.
