DescriptionLSI SAS6160 16-port 24Gb/s SAS Switch
OverviewThe LSI SAS6160 Switch is a ½ width, 16-port switch that fits into the 1U form factor. The switch extends the capabilities of SAS in direct-attached storage (DAS) environments by allowing multiple servers to connect to one or more independent storage systems. The LSI SAS6160 is designed to provide customers with a low-cost and easy to use storage networking option for storage installations in cloud computing, mega datacenter and small- to medium-sized business (SMB) environments, over separations of up to 25 meters.By allowing storage resources to be shared across multiple hosts and managed effectively through the SAS Domain Manager (SDM) utility program, the LSI SAS Switch helps customers maximize storage resource utilization, reduce islands of storage and simplify storage management, backup and upgrades.Simple plug-and-play integration is further enhanced by having complete SAS management available through an embedded utility via an HTML browser. The embedded utility is designed to create and modify port con-figurations and zoning, view the topology of the SAS domain and perform firmware maintenance. It also offers the flexibility to reconfigure without reconnecting cables or adding hardware.SAS 2.0 compliance helps assure broad compatibility with other 6Gb/s SAS interfaces, enabling a single switching infrastructure to address multiple classes of storage, supporting a mix of 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s, SAS and SATA end devices. Incorporation of active cable support on two of the ports enables the SAS Switch and any connected devices to be placed up to 25 meters from the Switch itself.A single SAS Switch can be used in a normal configuration, or two switches can be configured for a High Availability (HA) application where both ports of the storage system are connected using redundant paths. Should one of the switches fail, the second one will continue normal operation. This flexibility adds additional value to the SAS6160 Switch.
