Switch From Shared

The InSpeed™ Embedded Storage Switch Model 370 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 performanceof 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.
