SAS3x36 SAS Expander Enhance your external storage environment with high scalability and performance
Deliver the highest class of expander scalability and performance available. Enabled for today’s latest 12Gb/s SAS and SATA specifications, the SAS3x36 supports T-10 zoning across 255 zones, port mirroring, spread spectrum clocking, and 12 I2C interfaces for enclosure management and debugging, making it ideal for top-tier storage solutions. DataBolt bandwidth optimizer technology aggregates bandwidth to provide 12Gb/s SAS performance to the host when using 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SATA end devices, making it ideal for high-capcity and other storage applications. The 3x36 expander is supported by an industry-leading Software Development Kit (SDK) and tool suite for easy integration, de-bug and troubleshooting.
Enable higher enclosure capacities through 36 PHY edge expansion
Provide high device throughput with SAS and SATA support up to 12Gb/s, including wide port support
Leverage DataBolt technology to aggregate bandwidth from lower-speed drives for higher total performance
Ensure ample enclosure bandwidth through 2MB of integrated RAM and an ARM Cortex-R4 300 MHz processor
