HT-1000 HyperTransport Server I/O Controller with RAID5 Functionality
|
|
|
|
The HT-1000 is a highly-scalable System I/O solution for the 64-bit/32-bit processors that can be configured to meet OEMs' needs for a variety of product segments. It is particularly well suited to the volume server/blade and desktop market with the capability to efficiently span from 1-2 CPUs without incurring large latencies.
|
|
|
|
The dual processor configuration uses the HT-2000 as a tunnel to the processors. By combining the HT-1000 with the HT-2000, servers can support four PCI-Express™ masters, an additional PCI-X® 64/133 bus, and native dual GbE Broadcom controllers.
|
|
|
|
HT-1000 can also be used to connect directly to the processors. This provides all the features needed for cost-effective volume servers, blades, and desktop systems. These features include 8x HT bus, PCI-X 64/133, SATA II, USB 2.0, 32-bit PCI, LPC, IDE, and SMBus
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
- Industry's first single-chip, HyperTransport-based Server I/O Controller
- Incorporates enterprise-class storage features such as RAID5 functionality, controller spanning and online capacity expansion
- Allows system designers to converge communications and storage technologies into a single platform design
- Allows seamless addition and integration of new I/O technologies to an existing RAID configuration

HT-2000 HyperTransport Server I/O Controller with PCI Express and PCI-X
|
|
|
|
The HT-2000 is targeted at the volume server market with the capability to efficiently span from one-to-eight CPUs without incurring large latencies.
|
|
|
|
The HT-2000 is a highly-scalable SystemI/O solution for 64-bit/32-bit processors that can be configured to meet OEMs' needs for a variety of product segments. The dual processor configuration shown above can be used for mainstream tower and rack servers. Additional HT-2000 devices can be added to a system to scale to larger multi CPU servers.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
- The HT-2000 integrates dual Broadcom BCM5714 GbE controllers
- HyperTransport features includes a 2-GHz (1-GHz, 2X) HyperTransport bus interface
- Multiprocessing SystemI/O™ controller for the HyperTransport-enabled processors offering integration, performance, reliability, availability, scalability, and modularity
- Integrates all main server I/O interconnects PCIe™, PCI-X, and GbE
