- 22-ports, 4, 2 or 1 Gb/s per port speeds
- Integrated Fibre Channel Controller delivers
in-band
communications, including SES - Automatic Trunking** fully multiples bandwidth with failover pathing
- Fairness & Prioritization** eliminates "drive starvation" problems
- Advanced diagnostics, performance monitoring and fault isolation automatically ensure maximum storage system availability
- Compatible with InSpeed Embedded Storage
Switches and
previous generation InSpeed SOCs to deliver fully switched
infrastructures for ultimate RAS and performance
The 3rd generation InSpeed SOC 422 is the industry's first 4 Gb/s embedded storage switch that enables the next generation of storage systems using higher speeds and 2.5" Small Form Factor disk drives. The InSpeed SOC 422 delivers a new benchmark to maximize storage system performance while scaling and RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability).
It is ideal for:
- Transforming traditional JBODs (Just A Bunch of Disks) to highly reliable SBODs (Switched Bunch Of Disks) by placing switched connectivity between the storage controller and the individual drives in a disk or tape storage system to achieve up to 3-times performance while scaling improvements, and automatic problem diagnosis and corrective action down to the drive level.
- Delivering a Fully Switched Infrastructure when implemented as an SBOD in conjunction with Emulex InSpeed Embedded Storage Switches as Root Switches to obtain maximum RAS and up to 3-times performance while scaling improvements, and up to 5-times with the use of Automatic Trunking.
