Industry’s First Single-Chip, x16 Low-Profile HBAs with
Tri-Mode SerDes Technology
Broadcom enables high performance storage connectivity and flexible
system designs that support any combination of SAS, SATA, and PCIe
(NVMe)* devices with the industry’s first x16 HBA series with Tri-Mode
SerDes technology. The x16 PCIe Gen3 Tri-Mode HBA series delivers
high-performance storage for bandwidth-intense applications such as
big data analytics, media applications and applications performing large
sequential reads.
Applications
• Ideal for bandwidth-intense
applications such as UHD and big
data analytics
• Tri-Mode connectivity enabling
maximum data center flexibility
• Highest sequential throughput;
ideal for video streaming, big data
analytics, medical imaging and
media applications
• High bandwidth storage to SAS,
SATA, or NVMe devices
High-Performance to Big Data Applications
The x16 Tri-Mode HBAs with 16 internal or external ports bring performance
benefits to the storage tier by providing connectivity and data protection
to large-scale storage enclosures computing big data applications such as
analytics and business intelligence. Based on the single-core SAS3616W
Tri-Mode I/O controller (IOC), the HBAs provide a bandwidth and IOPS
performance increase compared to previous generations.
Endless Design Flexibility using Tri-Mode Controllers
Broadcom Tri-Mode SerDes Technology enables the operation of NVMe,
SAS, or SATA storage devices in a single drive bay. A single controller
can operate in all three modes concurrently and negotiate between the
speeds and protocols to seamlessly work with any of the three types of
storage devices. Tri-Mode support provides a non-disruptive way to evolve
existing data center infrastructure. By upgrading to a Tri-Mode HBA, users
can expand beyond SAS/SATA and use NVMe without major changes to
other system configurations. Take advantage of x16 slots and optimize two
x8 controllers into one card; delivering more versatility and optimal slot
performance density.
