09/15/16 -- In a move that will result in enhanced performance of enterprise storage deployments, the SCSI Trade Association (STA) (http://www.scsita.org/) today announced that the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Protocol Layer (SPL-4) of the upcoming 24Gb/s specification has completed letter ballot resolution and will be forwarded to the International Committee for Technology Standards ( #INCITS ) for processing towards public review. Completion of letter ballot resolution marks a milestone in the standardization process where the developers of the standard considered it to be logically complete. In addition to the significance of this event in formalizing the specification, it also signals the beginning of the implementation phase during which companies will finalize their designs. "24Gb/s SAS technology will double the effective bandwidth over the current 12Gb/s SAS, continuing SAS's per lane performance over #NVMe," said Rick Kutcipal, president of the SCSI Trade Association and part of Product Planning and Architecture at Broadcom Limited. "In addition to the performance increase over current 12Gb/s SAS technology, the significant advantages of SAS will continue to be its inherent scalability, manageability and serviceability." STA to Speak at Storage Developer Conference Reinforcing the role of SAS as the backbone of nearly every enterprise storage deployment, Cameron Brett, director SSD Product Marketing, Toshiba America Electronic Components' SSD Business Unit and STA board member will present "SAS: Today's Fast and Flexible Storage Fabric" at the 2016 SNIA Storage Developer Conference in Santa Clara, on Sunday, September 18, 2016 from 1:00 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. During the presentation, Brett will cover the newest features of SAS such as Zoned Block Commands, Shingled Magnetic Recording, persistent connections and storage intelligence. Brett will also educate attendees on how the versatility, reliability and scalability of SAS have made it the connectivity standard of choice for creating new storage architectures, allowing data center managers to create sustainable storage solutions that scale well into next-generation 24Gb/s SAS solutions and beyond. New Members Join STA STA is also pleased to welcome Astek Corporation, a provider of off-the-shelf products and services for Storage Products, Test and Measurement Systems, and #IoT Security Products, and Tektronix, a leader in test and measurement solutions, as the latest members to join its organization to promote and contribute to the evolution of SCSI.
