Circuits Corporation’s 3ware® storage division [NASDAQ: AMCC]
uses Green Hills Software's real-time operating
systems and development tools in its 3ware 9690SA SAS/SATA high performance

"Over our many years of partnership, Green Hills Software’s
solutions have played a key role in improving our time to market by reducing
our RAID firmware development cycles," commented Christophe Therene,
director of firmware engineering, AMCC. "Although we considered
offerings from many other vendors, we selected Green Hills Software for
its world-class debugging capabilities, its broad solution offerings,
and the performance and scalability of its RTOS products. Other key ingredients

pre-silicon virtual prototyping environment. Green Hills’ broad,
always-improving product offering and knowledgeable and responsive technical
support keep our design teams very satisfied."
"AMCC has broad scalability requirements across different processors
and footprints, the absolute reliability requirements expected of RAID
devices, stringent development and production cost pressures, and demanding

Hills Software’s industry leading technology portfolio, AMCC is
maximizing its return on investment in engineers and product development."
About the 3ware 9690SA SAS Controller
AMCC builds on established 3ware SATA RAID leadership to introduce the
3ware 9690SA SAS controller, the new standard in Serial Attached SCSI
RAID. As SATA and SAS technologies converge, users look to 3ware SATA
for price and performance and to SAS for SAS/SATA connectivity with
expansion up to 128 devices. The 3ware 9690SA delivers accelerated
SAS performance and the flexibility of internal and external connectivity.
As SAS makes inroads into the SCSI market, users will look to SAS to
provide expanded connectivity and greater scalability and to the 3ware
9690SA for peace of mind.
