Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) today announced its entrance into the Macintosh storage market with RAID technology for Apple’s high-end PowerMac G5 Quad workstation. The company’s new Sidecar external RAID solution leverages the company’s 3ware StorSwitch architecture, which integrates custom-designed firmware, hardware and management software optimized for high bandwidth applications, and solves the problem of how to provide terabytes of highly reliable storage expansion to individual G5 workstations. At this week’s Macworld Expo, AMCC will provide a sneak peek at the technology, due for release in the second quarter of 2006.
