 Fibre-Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) technology delivers
maximum bandwidth with minimum latency over far greater distances possible
than SCSI, and supports the new 64bit PCI bus, providing over 100MByte/sec
data transfer rates over a serial link.
The Fibre-Channel loop can have any combination of hosts and drives up
to a maximum of 126 devices.
Drives attach directly to the SuperRAID's internal backplane,
via 'Hot-pluggable' canisters, for both signal and power. The backplane's
Port Bypass Circuit (PBC) logic enables devices to be removed or inserted
without disrupting the operation of the loop. The PBC logic can also take
drives off-line or bring them back on-line by sending a command to any device
to remove it from loop operation or reinstall it onto the loop.
Added Bonus:Because Fiber-Channel supports many protocols,
including SCSI & networking, when you install a 100MByte/s disk loop, you
also get a 100MByte/s network interface for free, making Ethernet's
10Mbit/s & 100Mbit/s limitations seem trivial compared to the reality of a
network that runs at mainframe backplane speeds.
Bottom Line:Fibre-Channel provides
significantly higher bandwidth, superior drive array features and improved
network storage capabilities than conventional interface
