1.1 ABOUT THE ETHERNET INTERFACE
The Ethernet provides advantages over traditional SATA and SAS interfaces. The primary
advantages include:
• Connects storage directly into existing data center fabric
• Allows direct TCP/IP communication from any node in the network to the storage device
• Eliminates traditional storage server needs as protocol communication
• Retains the standard SAS hardware interface connector to provide system builder adaptability,
while enabling Ethernet
