Intel supplies a wide range of interoperable design components for storage solutions, and designers can select from multiple levels of engineering integration. Intel is helping to shape technology through industry-standard specification development. This standards-based approach fosters a community of providers who accelerate the availability of interoperable, networked storage solutions that result in lower total costs of storage development and ownership.

Intel is leading the storage industry, providing technologies that enable iSCSI, S-ATA, SCSI, Fibre Channel RAID controllers, and PCI-Express-enabled solutions that meet the requirements of storage systems. From innovations in affordable RAID on motherboard technology - to Ethernet host adapters with iSCSI capability and Intel® architecture-based storage platforms - Intel is helping the industry meet the demand for intelligent, highly available storage.

Important storage transitions are underway, enabled by emergence of complementary networking and I/O technologies. These trends involve SCSI commands over IP (iSCSI), Serial ATA (S-ATA), InfiniBand* architecture, PCI Express* and Object-Based Storage Devices (OSD).
