Intel to sell LSI Nytro MegaRAID PCIe flash cards

LSI Corp. and Intel Corp. today expanded their OEM partnership to include the LSI Nytro MegaRAID PCI Express flash card. Intel will sell the server-side flash device with two of its RAID solid-state drive storage cache controllers.

LSI's Nytro MegaRAID PCI Express cards sit in the server PCIe slots to accelerate storage directly attached to the server. Intel previously offered LSI MegaRAID controller cards for SATA, SAS or solid-state application acceleration with RAID-on-chip data protection technology. Nytro MegaRAID cards add on-board NAND flash, SandForce flash storage processors and intelligent caching for faster application acceleration. LSI acquired flash controller chip vendor SandForce in October 2011.
