Oxford Storage Controllers
The amount of personal digital content has exploded. Whether it is digital music, videos or photos; safe, reliable digital storage, and retrieval is essential.
PLX's high-performance DAS system-on-a-chip solutions represent a continued focus on the growing direct attached storage systems market. PLX's strengths lie in the ability to specifically address the digital data storage problem, by leveraging a deep experience and understanding of USB, FireWire and eSATA connectivity, enabling storage system vendors to offer high value-added products to their customers.
As the amount of personal and business digital content grows, so does the need to share that information. Whether it is the "connected" home or small office, reliable and secure digital storage/retrieval is essential.
Designed with the expanding market for home and small office local area networks (LANs) in mind, PLX's NAS solutions provide original equipment manufacturers with an ideal balance between performance and system BOM cost. The NAS system-on-a-chip expanded feature set builds on the quality and performance expected from PLX's products, while easily adapting to the newest networked storage technologies available in the marketplace.
