Microchip Technology, KIOXIA America complete 24G SAS endto-end storage interoperability testing

Microchip Technology and KIOXIA America, Inc. (formerly Toshiba Memory America, Inc.) announced the successful completion of the industry’s first 24G SAS end-to-end storage interoperability testing. Industry-standard 24G SAS infrastructure delivers improved performance, security and reliability to data center, cloud, hyperscale and enterprise server/storage customers while preserving existing investments in SAS infrastructure.

This interoperability testing demonstrates that Microchip’s suite of 24G SAS products and KIOXIA 24G SAS Solid-State Drives (SSDs) can be utilised together as part of next-generation storage solutions. Microchip’s 24G SAS tested products included the SmartROC 3200 PCIe Gen 4 Tri-Mode RAID On Chip (ROC) Controller, the SmartIOC 2200 Input/Output Controller (IOC), and the SXP 24G SAS expander. New server and storage systems can be deployed utilising these proven components that increase system performance while maintaining backward compatibility with existing infrastructure.
