| PMC-Sierra Reaches Milestone of Shipping Four Million 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel Ports | |||||
SANTA CLARA, Calif.-- PMC-Sierra, Inc. today announced that its market-leading end-to-end 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel chipset, comprised of Tachyon(R) Fibre Channel controllers and Cut-Through Switches, surpassed the four million ports shipped milestone. The chipset has garnered multiple design wins at four out of the top five global enterprise storage system original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and is enabling the rapid Fortune 500 market adoption of high-performance end-to-end 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel storage systems. "This significant milestone demonstrates that the end-to-end 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel storage system market is accelerating with PMC-Sierra at the forefront," said Mark Stibitz, vice president and general manager of PMC-Sierra's Enterprise Storage Division. "We're excited to help enable the 4Gbit/s storage system market and expect continued acceleration of 4Gbit/s systems across the IT enterprise landscape." "Seagate's Cheetah 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel hard drives are being delivered in volume worldwide and are generating a lot of excitement among storage system OEMs," said Sherman Black, senior vice president and general manager of Seagate's Enterprise Compute Business. "The high performance, scalability, and reliability of the latest 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel offerings deliver the storage needs required of IT users, who stand to greatly benefit having end-to-end 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel connectivity." PMC-Sierra's end-to-end 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel chipset (see Tables 1 and 2) provides seamless connectivity from host to hard disk drive with best-in-class price-performance (see Figure 1). The chipset is optimized to enable storage system OEMs to increase the reliability, serviceability and availability of their storage systems. In addition, PMC-Sierra's solution minimizes development costs by providing a common programming interface across the product line and guarantees interoperability from host to disk drive. "Worldwide IT enterprises seek the most reliable and highest performing technology for their mission critical data environments without impacting their budgets, schedules and staff," said John Barber, research director at Gartner. "4Gbit/s Fibre Channel answers the call by being backwards compatible to existing infrastructures, while doubling network and system performance at comparable price points." Pricing and Availability PMC-Sierra's 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel chipsets are available now.
