Red Hat has back-ported Areca fully series SAS and SATA RAID driver into Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1

 
 

Taipei, Taiwan, November 12, 2007-- Areca Technology Corporation (ARECA), today announced that their SAS and SATA ll RAID drivers have been integrated directly into the Red Hat 5.1 (and later), allowing future versions of RHEL operating systems to support Areca's entire family PCI-X and PCI-Express series of high performance SAS and SATA ll RAID controllers.

Areca drivers were officially merged in the 2.6.19 Kernel tree. It is including all Linux distributions, such as Red Hat, SuSE, TurboLinux, Debian, and Mandrake that use 2.6.19 Kernel tree or newer will automatically support the Areca fully family controller hardware. Areca RAID controllers driver have been out Linux for a while already, it is actually irritating our customer that Red Hat does not provide included our driver. Our controllers perform even better than any other rival RAID cards in the market.

Customer current uses Areca cards running RHEL5 (based on the 2.6.18 kernel) and updating a kernel is a pain since users also have to go through the extra step of manually building and installing the driver. Now, Red Hat has included a back ported patch Areca 2.6.19 on the Update 1 releases of RHEL5 which is running the kernel-2.6.18-53.el5. That means Areca fully series 4-, 8-, 12-, 16- and 24-port SAS and SATA RAID controller works on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 without an additional driver for the kernel. Since CentOS is a freely-available Linux distribution that is based on Red Hat's commercial product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL),Areca driver will officially merge into the CentOS 5.1.

Areca PCI-X and PCI-Express SATA RAID controller comes in 4-, 8-, 12-, 16 and 24-port configurations, but it promises to be much faster and to boast other improvements than competitors, such as RAID 6, SAS and SATA ll support. The new controllers are designed to support the 64-bit computing applications. They support single volume set greater than 2TB via 64-bit LBAs on one controller.
