TYAN Selects Dot Hill Virtual RAID Adapter Technology for Server Platforms

By DE Editors

Dot Hill Systems Corp. announced that TYAN, a server platform provider, has selected Dot Hill RAIDCore Virtual RAID Adapter (VRA) technology for its newest server platforms.

TYAN is now shipping six new server platforms based on the six-core AMD Opteron processor and AMD SP5100 Southbridge chipset, all of which now include RAIDCore Basic VRA solutions as standard.

With support for Linux and Windows, Dot Hill RAIDCore VRA solutions provide an alternative to hardware-based RAID that is built right into the server. Users who want more advanced capabilities can upgrade to the RAIDCore VST through a software-based licensing scheme. This upgrade, which includes RAID 1n/10n (multi-volume mirroring), distributed sparing and additional migration features, enables enterprise-class virtual RAID for less than a conventional hardware RAID adapter card, according to the company.
