Uitverkocht

The LSI SAS6160 Switch is a width, 16-port switch that fits intothe 1U form factor. The switch extends the capabilities of SAS indirect-attached storage (DAS) environments by allowing multipleservers to connect to one or more independent storage systems. TheLSI SAS6160 is designed to provide customers with a low-cost andeasy to use storage networking option for storage installations incloud computing, mega data-center and small- to medium-sizedbusiness (SMB) environments, over separations of up to 25meters.

By allowing storage resources to be shared across multiple hostsand managed effectively through the SAS Domain Manager (SDM)utility program, the LSI SAS Switch helps customers maximizestorage resource utilization, reduce islands of storage andsimplify storage management, back-up and upgrades.

Simple plug-and-play integration is further enhanced by havingcomplete SAS management available through an embedded utility viaan HTML browser. The embedded utility is designed to create andmodify port configurations and zoning, view the topology of the SASdomain and perform firmware maintenance. It also offers theflexibility to reconfigure without reconnecting cables or addinghardware.

SAS 2.0 compliance helps assure broad compatibility with other6Gb/s SAS interfaces, enabling a single switching infrastructure toaddress multiple classes of storage, supporting a mix of 3Gb/s and6Gb/s, SAS and SATA end devices. Incorporation of active cablesupport on two of the ports enables the SAS Switch and anyconnected devices to be placed up to 25meters from the Switchitself.

A single SAS Switch can be used in a normal configuration, or twoswitches can be configured for a High Availability (HA) applicationwhere both ports of the storage system are connected usingredundant paths. Should one of the switches fail, the second onewill continue normal operation. This flexibility adds additionalvalue to the SAS6160 Switch.
