Rain Computers has chosen LSI MegaRAID 6Gb/s SATA+SAS RAID controller cards for integration with its new Venturi Video + Graphics Workstations. LSI says Rain Computers selected the LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260-4i four-port, PCI Express 2.0 controller for integration with Venturi systems based on its high transactional I/O performance capabilities, rich feature set, rock-solid reliability and competitive price.

"Digital audio and video editing professionals demand workstations that don't allow their compute-intensive environments to interfere with the creative process," said Bill Paschick, founder and chief architect, Rain Computers. "Our Venturi platform is designed to balance power, stability and compatibility, and this can only be achieved by integrating technologies that meet these same standards. Based on our rigorous testing and qualification processes, LSI MegaRAID controllers proved to be the only RAID products on the market that excelled in each of these critical areas."

"Access to digital content is essential to meeting audio and video editing deadlines and to avoiding costly project delays," said Brent Blanchard, director of worldwide channel sales and marketing, LSI. "The I/O performance, proven reliability and assured interoperability provided by LSI MegaRAID controllers, together with Rain's high-performance workstations, are helping creative professionals bring their visions to life on time and on budget."
