LSI, known mostly for their I/O controller chips and storage adapters, is expanding their line of customizable storage systems. The new CTS2600 family offers their channel partners the ability to buy complete storage systems, with custom branding options for both the hardware and software.  LSI CTS2600, 24x2.5" model LSI is adding some exciting new options to their Engenio 7900 storage system. The main new feature is support for STEC ZeusIOPS SSDs when using the FC4600 drive enclosure; according to the LSI these can provide 80 times the IOPS performance of traditional drives. Another spectacular addition is the DE6900 SATA drive enclosure; it can hold a staggering 60 3.5 inch drives in a 4U enclosure.
