SAN JOSE, Calif., April 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Embedded Systems Conference --
GDA Technologies, Inc., a fast growing supplier of Intellectual Property (IP)
and Electronic Design Services (EDS), today announced that iStor Networks,
Inc., an innovative technology leader in storage networking technologies, has
selected GDA for PCI Express cores to broaden the company's ongoing iSCSI
product development efforts. The GDA PCI Express Controller core, called GPEX,
is integrated into iStor products for iSCSI storage area networks. GPEX is a
highly configurable core that is optimized for link utilization, latency,
reliability, and silicon footprint for both ASIC and FPGA implementations.
"GDA is a leader in the emerging market for PCI Express products," said
Carl Baldini, Vice President of Hardware Engineering at iStor Networks Inc.
"GPEX technology is helping iStor integrate PCI-Express into its iSCSI Storage
products that deliver outstanding reliability, scalability and performance."
The GigaStorATX product family enables OEM's, Value Added Resellers and System
Integrators the opportunity to use off-the-shelf PC Server and Storage ATX
enclosures to build high performance, feature rich, power efficient and cost
effective iSCSI RAID storage solutions.
"iStor is a leader in their market space and we are excited to work with
them," said Amit Saxena, Director of IP Business at GDA Technologies Inc. "The
iStor design-win is a validation of our PCI Express IP core quality, because
it is noted throughout the industry that they select the best class of
solutions for their products."
GPEX adheres to the PCI Express 1.1 specifications and is available for
both ASIC and FPGA implementations. It supports endpoint, bridge, switch and
root complex solutions. It includes MAC, data link and transaction layers.
GPEX supports PIPE based PHY architecture and provides a flexible packet
oriented user logic interface. GPEX Configurable options include number of
lanes (up to 16), number of virtual channels (up to 8), maximum payload
size (up to 4K Bytes), and transmit retry/receive buffer size. GPEX provides
flow control support for both directions and completely handles PCI Express
ordering rules.
