Serial Attached SCSI is the new standard which was introduced
by the SCSI Trade Association to meet the ever-demanding
needs of enterprise storage for high performance, high
reliability and high manageability. Key end-user benefits
of the standard include enterprise class robustness, investment
protection in compatible SCSI software and middleware,
and the choice of direct-attach storage devices (SAS or
SATA). Since SAS is based on the foundation of the industry-leading
SCSI specification, it will satisfy users' needs for continuity
in the mission-critical application.
