Xyratex RS-1600/2-F4-SBD

Xyratex’s RS-1600-F4-SBD and extended RS-1602-F4-SBD replace traditional Fibre Channel – Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) architecture with an integrated advanced switching hub, dramatically improving data availability while reducing the effects of latency, especially in systems with high disk counts.

Features

• Point to point disk drive communications
• Bandwidth of up to 3.2 GB/s per enclosure
• Extended SES for advanced management features
• Reduced latency in large disk count systems
• Autonomous FC error monitoring of port management
• ANSI enclosure SES support for management & diagnostics
• Up to 8 non-blocking initiator connections
• Multi-path trunking doubles interconnect performance
• Drive LIP threshold management
• Trunking
• Zoning

This innovative 4G Switched Bunch of Disks (SBOD) solution offers substantially improved read/write performance levels, and uses embedded technology to create a high performance, point-to-point switched connection between the storage controller and the individual drives.
