Intel has announced its newest Intel RAID RS3 controllers that are powered by LSI Technology and specifically designed to meet the demands of I/O intensive applications, cloud datacenters and virtualized server environments.

The new Intel RAID RS3 controllers bring performance of more than 1 million IOPS in JBOD mode as well as 12 gB/s SAS-3 technology, which doubles the available bandwidth of currently available 6Gb/s SAS solutions, in order to unlock the full potential of PCI-Express 3.0 based systems and SSD storage solutions.

According to Intel, the new Intel RAID 12 Gb/s controller RS3 family provides the next generation of storage performance to meet the current and future demands of today's datacenters and thanks to those entry-level controllers which are also perfect for 3 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s, since they provide a faster processor and also allow for 12 Gb/s data transfer when teamed with a SAS-3 compliant expander, they provide room to grow by paving the way for 12 Gb/s infrastructures as server demands increase and technology progresses.
