Dot Hill Systems Qualifies STEC Solid State Drives

The company is now shipping SSD drives from STEC for use in its iSCSI, SAS, and Fibre Channel arrays.

Carlsbad, Calif.-based Dot Hill Systems Corp., provider of entry-level and midrange storage solutions for OEMs and resellers, announced that Dot Hill †is now shipping solid state disk (SSD) drives from STEC, a leading global provider of SSD technology solutions, for use in its iSCSI, SAS and Fibre Channel arrays.

With native SAS drive-attach, STEC drives offer a solution for Dot Hill’s arrays with 24 2.5-inch drives. With no moving parts, SSDs provide fast access time and low latency compared with conventional hard drives. They are used to enable high-performance caching in tiered storage applications and high-availability storage in military applications such as mobile computing where substantial vibration or motion could cause damage to traditional SATA or SAS hard drives.

SSDs are also more rugged than hard disks, operate quietly, and tolerate a broader range of environmental conditions and altitudes. For these reasons, early adopters of SSDs in RAID arrays have included military, government, and telecommunications customers.

“STEC leverages 15 years of knowledge and experience to deliver the industry’s most comprehensive line of solid state drives,” says Manouch Moshayedi, chairman and CEO of STEC. “Understanding the needs of ruggedized storage systems and the suitability of SSDs for those applications, we are excited about driving SSD adoption beyond the conventional enterprise usage models to create new and exciting avenues for growth of our SSDs.”

Specific Dot Hill arrays qualified and now shipping with STEC drives include Dot Hill 2322, 2332 iSCSI, 2522, 2532 SAS, and 2722, 2732 Fibre Channel RAID arrays.
