AMI Is All Hyped Up.American Megatrends American Megatrends Incorporated (AMI) is a Georgia, USA based hardware company that creates PC hardware and firmware. It was founded in 1985 by the current chairman and president, S. Shankar. , Inc. expanded its family of PCI-based and external RAID controllers with IDE RAID Using ATA (IDE) drives in a RAID configuration. See RAID. . American Megatrends has entered the IDE RAID market with HyperDisk, its PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). hard drive accelerator, due to the demand for a storage solution for workstations and servers. IDE RAID uses IDE drives in a RAID environment to boost system performance or increase data security. IDE RAID offers performance and data redundancy. "Now that IDE RAID is gaining acceptance in the marketplace, AMI will continue to provide solutions for levels of data protection, from desktop IDE RAID to SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. and Fibre Channel RAID," said Sanjay Sehgal, director of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and sales at AMI. "In the performance workstation market, the advantage of IDE RAID offers OEMs, systems integrators, and VARs an alternative." IDE RAID makes sense for corporate, industrial, retail, home office, and small office environment. It means little to no downtime when a drive crashes, application performance every time a file is saved or retrieved, and economy and longevity for PCs made today. Industry experts estimate that a hard drive crashes somewhere every 15 seconds and 69 to 80 percent of backups to restore data fails. IDE RAID protects data in the event of a drive failure by saving data to a drive every time a file is saved. If a drive fails, IDE RAID continues to store and retrieve files from the hard drive without pause and no downtime. |
