Smart Storage and Connectivity

Today's data centers and enterprises need storage solutions that can keep pace with their rapid data expansion. The Microsemi Adaptec� HBA 1000 is the first product in the new Adaptec� Smart Storage Solutions family that is being forged through the convergence of Microsemi SAS/SATA protocol controller expertise, more than 30 years of Adaptec board innovation, and acquired Smart IP technology. The HBA 1000 Series delivers the smart connectivity that businesses are looking for with an optimal mix of resiliency, efficiency, and ease of use. It's an ideal solution for server-based storage systems that require maximum bandwidth and I/O connectivity, low power, and high reliability

Resiliency and Efficiency

The new unified Smart Storage Stack delivers resiliency by combining the best of the eighth-generation Adaptec ARC software and drivers with the acquired
Smart IP of the most broadly deployed server storage stack. Combined with the SSCi (16x12G/8x12G) SmartIO SAS/SATA protocol controller from Microsemi, the HBA 1000 Series provides a robust and stable solution that can handle the toughest system workloads and configurations. It is fully  compatible with existing and future Adaptec HBA, RAID, and expander solutions. Available in five different 12 Gbps configurations with up to 16 internal or 16 external SAS/SATA ports, the HBA 1000 Series offers the highest port count in a low-profile, MD2 form factor and 60% less power consumption than
competing HBAs.

Maximum Performance

The HBA 1000 Series provides the highest levels of storage performance and scalability for next generation data centers by connecting numerous state-ofthe-art 12 Gbps storage devices that can aggregate their performance to the limits of the PCIe Gen 3 host bus at 6600 MB/s and achieve up to 1.3 million
IOPs with minimal overhead or additional latency.

Ease of Use

The HBA 1000 with its broad operating system support and eco-system compatibility is easy to implement, and easy to scale when directly connecting up to 16 storage devices or scaling out with full compatibility using expanders. The unified management tools and drivers across the Adaptec HBA, RAID and expander solutions enable customer easy manageability across the entire product line.
