Switch From Shared
The InSpeed™ Embedded Storage Switch Model 350 is
the only storage switch specifically designed for embedded
root switch storage system applications. Unlike in–house
development efforts that use port bypass circuitry, InSpeed
Embedded Storage Switches are designed as a drop–in
solution to deliver 6 to 18 month time to market advantage for
storage system suppliers who want to improve the Reliability,
Availability and Serviceability (RAS) and performance of their
systems. And unlike traditional complex fabric switches
designed for front–end SAN applications that are too big, too
expensive and consume too much power, InSpeed Embedded
Storage Switches are specifically designed to meet the
compatibility and cost–effectiveness that back–end root
switching applications require.
Despite the numerous advances made in storage system
drives and controllers, the back–end connectivity designed
into many of today’s storage systems is still shared loop
technology. While the severe limitations associated with
shared connectivity are broadly acknowledged, the expense
and complexity of implementing high performance switching
technology into the back–end storage arrays was prohibitive
and physically impossible. Emulex’s InSpeed technology has
changed all that.
