The Astek A54812 is a 1U high, 12-port (48-lanes) 12Gbs SAS switch configured with 12 x4 wide-port each capable of 48Gbs . The switch extends the capabilities of SAS in direct-attached storage (DAS) environments by allowing multiple servers to connect to one or more independent storage systems. Astek's A54812 switch is designed to provide customers with an inexpensive and easy to use storage networking option for rack-mount server and storage installations in cloud computing, mega data-center and small- to medium-sized business (SMB) environments. By enabling storage resources to be shared across multiple hosts, and managed effectively through SAS zoning, Astek SAS Switch products help customers to maximize storage resource utilization, eliminate islands of storage and simplify storage management, backup and upgrades. For longer distance connections up to 100 meters the A54812 supports cable management and optical cables. The A54812 is designed for High Availability (HA) applications with features such as Dual Redundant Externally Hot-Swappable Fans and Power Supplies. Simple, plug-and-play integration is further enhanced by having complete SAS management available through a storage management utility. The utility is able to modify port configuration, including zoning, firmware management and viewing the topology of the SAS domain. It also offers flexibility to reconfigure without reconnecting cables or adding hardware. As the SAS physical layer supports both SAS and Serial ATA (SATA), the SAS Switch enables single switching infrastructure to address multiple classes of storage supporting a mix of SAS and SATA storage enclosures. A single SAS Switch can be used in a normal configuration, or two switches can be configured for a High Availability (HA) application where both ports of the storage are connected using redundant paths. If one of the switches fails, the second one will continue normal operation.

The Astek A51606 is a 1U wide, 16-port SAS switch. The switch extends the capabilities of SAS in direct-attached storage (DAS) environments by allowing multiple servers to connect to one or more independent storage systems. Astek's A51606 switch is designed to provide customers with a low-cost and easy to use storage networking option for rack-mount server and storage installations in cloud computing, mega data-center and small- to medium-sized business (SMB) environments. By enabling storage resources to be shared across multiple hosts, and managed effectively through SAS zoning, Astek SAS Switch products help customers to maximize storage resource utilization, eliminate islands of storage and simplify storage management, backup and upgrades. Simple, plug-and-play integration is further enhanced by having complete SAS management available through an embedded utility.

The APC3-MID-01 provides a low-profile probing solution for PCIe Gen 3 applications using Keysights U4301B PCI Express Protocol Analyzer. The APC3-MID-01 is ideal for applications with limited vertical height requirements. A single APC3-MID-01 supports a x8 bi-directional (upstream and downstream) or a x16 unit-directional PCIe bus. Support for x16 bi-directional PCIe bus can be achieved using two APC3-MID-01 probes. Astek is a Keysight Solutions Partner.

The Astek A34012-PCI expander card has two x4 mini-SAS HD external connectors (SFF- 8644) and eight x4 mini-SAS HD internal connectors (SFF-8643). The internal connections are dedicated to internal drive connections (32 ports) and for SAS Controller connectivity (8 ports). The Astek A34012-PCI 12Gbs SAS expander card facilitates the transition to 12Gbs SAS with LSI DataBolt Bandwidth Optimizer. DataBolt technology is designed to help facilitate the industry transition to 12Gbs SAS-enabled systems by allowing users to utilize existing 6Gbs drives and passive backplanes. The Astek A34012-PCI buffers 6Gbs data and then transfers it out to the host at 12Gbs SAS speeds in order to match the bandwidth between faster hosts and legacy SAS or SATA devices. This device supports SAS data transfer rates of 12, 6, 3Gbs, and SATA data transfer rates of 6 and 3Gbs.
