The Newisys Evolution

Newisys was originally founded with the mission of bringing advanced server technology to markets based on the AMD Opteron™ processor. In response to customer demand and market opportunity, Newisys expanded its mission to include the design and development of advanced server technologies based on the Intel® Xeon® family of processors.

In January 2006, Sanmina-SCI® acquired Adaptec’s OEM block-based storage products, formerly known as Eurologic® Systems. Sanmina-SCI has transitioned the Adaptec Colorado design team into the Newisys organization. Through this acquisition, the Colorado Springs Storage Technology Design Center, plus a number of established storage products from Adaptec, was added to the Newisys portfolio. This followed the December 2005 acquisition of Adaptec’s storage manufacturing facility in Singapore that provided Sanmina-SCI with enhanced capabilities in storage manufacturing.

The foundation of the Newisys Storage design solutions is a Flexible Storage Architecture (FSA). FSA is a solid set of storage building blocks that include standard chassis, backplanes and drive carriers that can be intermixed in a number of creative ways, allowing for maximum flexibility and time-to-market advantages for OEM customers. In addition, these products can be leveraged with Newisys server building blocks to deliver a full range of unique server and storage solutions.

Today, Newisys is comprised of proven, top-notch design and development experts with unprecedented external storage hardware and/or software design capabilities located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
