SAS Storage Server - Reliable Data Transfer via SAS Interface

What does SAS stand for?

SAS is short for Serial Attached SCSI. The serial protocol for the transfer of data replaces its predecessor Parallel SCSI.

The SAS protocol allows a significantly increased data transfer rate compared to the old parallel SCSI protocol - instead of 320 MB/s with SCSI, 12 Gbit/s are now possible with SAS. The interface is designed for hot-plugging, and SATA hard disks can also be connected to the SAS controllers.

SAS Storage and the advantages of the SAS interface

• Simple and cost-effective acquisitionSAS is a technical advancement that was deliberately developed with the Serial ATA (SATA) interface in mind. The possibility to connect SATA hard disks to the SAS or the SAS controller (directly or via a bridge) makes SAS storage systems highly flexible. Moreover, by using these very common interfaces, there are no additional expenses for software licenses.
• Full scalability of the SAS Storage ServerIn employing the SAS interface, you have to consider that the respective devices (storage and server) must be located close to each other. Unlike Fibre Channel or iSCSI, SAS is designed for DAS environments. You can expand the SAS storage almost indefinitely in this area - if necessary to thousands of hard disks. To expand the storage capacity over JBODs, for example, many more physical hard disks can be connected to an SAS interface via Edge Expander or Fanout Expander.
• Performance increase with RAID controllersWhen using SAS storage systems, you have the option of connecting JBODs or other disk arrays to servers via SAS as DAS. This additional external storage can then be comprehensively managed via a RAID controller and configured for different RAID levels.
