PAC Storage replaces traditional 2G Fibre Channel drive loops and integrated 2G advanced switching hubs, with the PS-1604F4-SBD. This innovative new 4Gb Fibre Channel SBOD solution that uses embedded technology to create a high-performance, point-to-point switched connection between the storage controller and the individual drives, offering substantially improved read/write performance levels, up to 1.6 GB/sec per enclosure in standard operation or 3.2 GB/sec when utilizing Trunking. Eliminating the loop architecture within the standard JBOD storage enclosure dramatically improves data availability, and substantially reduces the effects of latency, especially in systems with large disk counts.
