3ware builds on an established SATA leadership with the 3ware SAS 9750 and 9690SA 
controller cards, featuring high-performance RAID. 3ware pioneered the way for SATA 
and now capitalizes on time-proven serial storage expertise to take users from SCSI to 
SAS in sequential I/O intensive and multi-stream environments. 

3ware RAID controllers feature StorSwitch®, which is a unique non-blocking fabric architecture that allows 
3ware controllers to concurrently communicate to all attached drives through a pool of 32 direct  

memory access (DMA) channels for superb performance and data availability. The result is superior overall system performance compared to 
non-scalable, hub-based systems that share the bandwidth of a single DMA channel.

In addition, 3DM®2 is powerful remote management software that simplifies the configuration, management and monitoring of 3ware storage arrays.  
It provides an intuitive interface to remotely create, manage and monitor your 3ware RAID arrays and single disks in a robust, secure array management 
environment for your RAID protected data. Proven self-monitoring technologies and automatic notification services can maximize your storage  
availability while minimizing the pressure on system administrators.
