This migration from shared to effectively point-to-point switching has led to discoveries in handling large numbers of devices within the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) environment, resulting in improvements to FC-AL for switched solutions, and--surprisingly--for shared environments as well.
The J2880 supports the latest 4Gb/s FC interconnect in switched dual loops, is backward compatible to 2Gb FC-AL, provides redundancy, and can be configured with either FC or SATA II disk drives.
Adding InSpeed (basically interconnecting every FC-AL disk tray to a Vixel "chip-switch"), arrays become a switched bunch of disks (Vixel here introduces yet another acronym: SBODs), yielding a three- to five-fold speed improvement.
