Distribution Strategy
MILPITAS, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- September 12, 2006 -- Adaptec, Inc., a global leader in storage solutions, today announced that it has added ASI Corp., a leading distributor of computer component products in North America, to its growing network of national distributors. Under the terms of this agreement, Adaptec HBA and RAID controllers including its Unified Serial™ solutions will be available and supported through ASI's distribution network of over 16,000 value-added resellers (VARs) throughout North America.
Adaptec Unified Serial Controllers seamlessly support both Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) drive types in order to maximize performance, scalability, and flexibility for storage infrastructures. These solutions also offer the industry's most advanced data protection features, including dual disk drive failure protection (RAID 6) and hot space (RAID 5EE). By leveraging the same software management interface, Adaptec simplifies managing RAID data volumes, disk utilization, provisioning, diagnostics and storage expansion.
