November 9, 2011 | LSI Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced that
PSSC Labs has selected LSI™ 3ware® 6Gb/s SATA+SAS RAID controller cards
for integration with its PowerWulf Cluster high-performance computing
(HPC) solutions. The combination of LSI 3ware 9750 series controllers
and PowerWulf Clusters is designed to provide researchers in the life
sciences community with a high-performance, turnkey solution capable of
addressing both the computational and data capacity requirements of
genome sequencing applications.
"Genome sequencing research can produce terabytes of data in a single
run, putting immense pressure on computer processing power and data
storage capacity," said Alex Lesser, vice president, PSSC Labs. "LSI’s
products are extremely reliable, easy to configure and cost effective.
They are a perfect match for our specifications and the laborious
requirements of our end customers."
PSSC Labs PowerWulf Clusters are high-performance computing systems,
which include the Raid Station VPR-NXXL, the storage solution within the
system. Raid Station VPR series solutions are powered by 3ware RAID
technologies, which help optimize and increase system performance,
allowing researchers to conduct more sequencing runs and focus on
experiments and analysis rather than management of the cluster.
PSSC Labs selected LSI 3ware RAID controllers over competitive solutions
based on the high performance and proven reliability they achieved in
PSSC Labs' rigorous testing processes. Internal tests conducted for Raid
Station products, even when using lower-performance 3Gb/s SATA drives,
yielded sequential throughput performance exceeding 1TB per second, with
reads of up to 1,100MB/sec and writes of up to 946MB/sec. (1)
PowerWulf Clusters also provide massive amounts of available RAID
storage space. Each PowerWulf Cluster includes a minimum of 10TB of
available storage, which can be easily expanded to several hundred
terabytes. Utilizing LSI 600 series JBOD storage enclosures, which are
fully compatible with LSI 3ware RAID controllers, users can
cost-effectively expand and scale storage capacity to meet rapidly
escalating data volumes.
"In genome sequencing labs, scientists are undertaking potentially
life-changing research, and it is essential that their efforts are not
hindered by the limitations of information technology," said Brent
Blanchard, worldwide channel sales and marketing director, LSI. "LSI has
a long and successful history of delivering high-performance storage
solutions to government and university-based labs and private research
institutions. We're excited that PSSC Labs has selected LSI 3ware RAID
technologies to boost the storage capabilities of their HPC systems for
life sciences research."
LSI 3ware SATA+SAS RAID controllers and LSI 600 series JBODs are
available through a worldwide network of distributors, integrators and
VARs. Additional product information is available at the LSI Channel
Gateway (www.lsi.com/channel).

OCZ Deneva 2 Solid State Drives Deployed in PSSC Labs HPC Systems and Servers
November 2, 2011 | OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:OCZ - News), a leading provider of
high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) for computing devices and
systems, today announced that the OCZ Deneva 2 SSD Series was qualified
by PSSC Labs for integration into workstations, HPC servers, and
datacenter appliances. The Deneva 2 Series offers superior performance,
power efficiency, and a robust enterprise feature-set, enabling PSSC
Labs to support clients contending with ever-increasing amounts of data
while lowering costs associated with maintenance, operating footprint,
and energy consumption.
PSSC Labs is a Southern California-based manufacturer with an extensive product lineup of turn-key solutions built in-house, including high performance servers, supercomputers, clusters, workstations, and RAID storage systems. These solutions are deployed to a diverse customer base such as entertainment content creators, government and military, scientific research, private clouds, and developers. Overcoming the obstacles inherent to traditional mechanical HDD storage, OCZ Deneva 2 SSDs feature superior performance and endurance for throughput-intensive applications, meeting today's demanding CAD and datacenter workloads.
"PSSC Labs is a leader in the high performance computing arena and we are pleased that they have selected our enterprise class Deneva 2 solid state drives for use within their workstation and server solutions," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology Group. "PSSC Labs truly understands the unique challenges that customers address with the processing of ever increasing amounts of data and the integration of solid state drives within PSSC's best of breed solutions only further increases productivity and total cost of ownership for clients."
"Our computing solutions undergo an extensive and rigorous burn-in processes, to ensure that our customers receive the most reliable, highest performing systems in the industry," said Lawrence Lesser, CEO of PSSC Labs. "Our products experience field failure rate less than 0.01%. Qualification of Solid State Drives in our servers is no easy task, and PSSC Labs is proud to commercialize our products with the Deneva 2 enterprise class SSD."
