The LSI SAS6160 switch provides a new level of functionality for direct attached, SAS-based storage. It allows customers to more easily and cost
efficiently share multiple storage resources among one or more servers. The SAS6160 was designed to support:
• Applications needing shared and pooled storage
- Example: Use fewer, larger storage arrays
• Applications needing increased connectivity
- Example: Use multiple switches in a topology
• Applications needing higher availability
- Example: Building a redundant configuration with two switches
• Configurations using tiered storage solution with SAS and SATA drives
• Customers wanting to lower storage acquisition cost without sacrificing expansion capabilities
• Customers wanting to efficiently connect multiple servers to multiple storage
• Customers wanting to securely share chosen storage resources with selected servers
