Product Overview
The LSI SAS6160 is a half-width 1U device designed for integration with existing SAS infrastructures. The switch features 16 non-blocking 4-lane-wide ports providing a 24Gb/s SAS connection per port, for an aggregate bandwidth of 384Gb/s. Utilizing JBOD or RBOD storage subsystems, the switch supports connectivity of up to 1,000 SATA and SAS devices, enabling customers to take advantage of larger SAS topologies with reduced discovery times.

Utilizing JBOD or RBOD storage subsystems, the switch supports connectivity of up to 1,000 SATA and SAS devices, enabling customers to take advantage of larger SAS topologies with reduced discovery times.
A single SAS switch infrastructure can also address multiple classes of storage, enabling tiered-storage solutions through a mix of 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s, SATA and SAS end devices. In addition, incorporation of active cable support enables LSI SAS switches to be placed up to 25 meters apart, which is up to a four times increase over the distance limitation of traditional passive copper cabling.
By enabling storage resources to be shared across multiple hosts and managed through SAS zoning, the LSI SAS switch helps maximize storage utilization while eliminating islands of storage. It also simplifies storage management, backup, and upgrades. The SAS switch is designed from the ground up to deliver the connectivity required to support virtual server environments. It allows organizations to realize the benefits of virtual machine migration while maintaining the management simplicity of DAS.
