Areca Releases Solaris 10 Driver for PCI-X/PCIe SATA ll RAID Controllers

 
 

Taipei, Taiwan, September 21, 2005 -- Areca Technology Corporation, a leading provider of PCI-X, PCI-Express SATA ll RAID controllers with Intel RAID 6 inside, today announced that its PCI-X SATA ll RAID controller has supported Solaris 10. In response to the Linux competition, Sun has renewed its commitment to selling Solaris servers for the X86 platforms. Last year, SUN partnered with AMD to develop servers based on AMD's Operton 64-bit processor. Sun is also developing software called Janus for running Linux applications on Solaris. Areca has added the driver to it’s fully series PCI-X/PCIe RAID controller. This will enable the SATA ll RAID function into the SUN application.

Solaris 10 was released in February 2005, although the pre-release had been tested for some time. Solaris 10, like later versions before it, is supported on both SPARC and x86 architectures, and both 32-bit and 64-bit CPUs.

Sun long has been wedded to its own UltraSparc processors, and Solaris has rarely been used elsewhere. Now Sun is aggressively boosting the operating system on x86 chips such as Intel's Xeon and Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron. SUN has been predicting recently that Solaris and its accompanying development tools will be increasingly of interest to developers writing software for x86 servers-that is, those running more mainstream processors from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices.

In the early days, we had ported many device drives to SCSI host adapter and IDE/SCSI cache controller including Solaris X86 operating system. After accumulating years of Solaris 8 device drive experiences, Areca is capable of writing its own Solaris 10 device drives. This driver smoothes the path for customers who consider a move to Solaris X86 platform.
