    摘要: A high speed fabric is provided and is partitioned into sub-fabrics for host adapter traffic and device adapter traffic. A high-speed switch includes an expander for host adapter traffic and an expander for device adapter traffic. The high-speed switch also includes a plurality of connectors, where each connector is partitioned into dual interfaces. For each connector, one interface is connected to the host adapter traffic expander and the other interface is connected to the device adapter traffic expander. Blades are provided with one or more connectors, where each connector is partitioned into dual interfaces for host adapter traffic and device adapter traffic. The blades may be any combination of processor blades, boot drive enclosure blades, switched bunch of disks enclosure blades, and/or integrated RAID controller disk enclosure blades.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for integrating redundant array of independent disk (“RAID”) storage within a blade center. A plurality of mutually autonomous storage subsystems mount within the blade center through a switch. Each storage subsystem includes a storage module comprising a plurality of storage devices and a RAID controller. A server blade mounted within the blade center may access a first storage subsystem through a switch module. The switch module is a non-blocking, cross-point switch. In one embodiment, the switch module restricts the server blade's access to a second storage subsystem.
