sTec(R) s840 SSDs Certified for Windows Server 2012
April 23 2013 - 8:00AM
sTec, Inc. (NASDAQ: STEC), a leading global provider of solid-state
storage solutions, today announced that its high-performance s840
Series Enterprise SAS SSDs have been certified for Windows Server
2012, which includes use with Windows Server 2012 Cluster in a Box
systems. The significant performance advantages of the sTec®
enterprise-class s840 solid-state drives (SSDs) complement Windows
Server 2012's "cluster in a box" and continuous-availability
initiatives.
"SSD technology is rapidly emerging as a significant, viable
storage element in a new generation of servers running on the
ubiquitous Windows Server platform," said Swapna Yasarapu, director
of SSD technical marketing at sTec. "Microsoft's decision to
highlight support for this storage technology in Windows Server
2012 reflects how SSD technology has become a mainstream storage
solution that delivers unprecedented performance for servers in
data centers, cloud computing and other high-performance enterprise
environments."
"Windows Server 2012 enables a new generation of systems that
deliver high availability and performance to a broad market," said
Brian Hillger, director, Server and Tools Marketing, Microsoft.
"SSDs are a key technology that can help unleash the full
performance capabilities of these new systems. Our work with sTec
is a significant step towards giving customers the benefits of SSDs
in high-availability systems and helping customers utilize the full
potential of Windows Server 2012."
sTec's s840 Series Enterprise SSDs are designed to enable
storage systems to realize outstanding, sustainable input/output
per second (IOPS), and relieve the performance bottlenecks
associated with traditional rotating media disk drives. A
single s840 drive can replace multiple hard disk drives (HDDs),
thus easing the rack-space demands and performance penalties
exacted by rotating media.
Windows Server powers many of the world's largest datacenters,
enables small businesses worldwide and delivers value-added
benefits to organizations in between. In addition to
supporting SSD storage, Windows Server 2012 offers a range of new
features and enhancements, including those for virtualization,
networking, user experience, cloud computing and automation.
