ADAPTIVE MULTIPATH FABRIC FOR BALANCED PERFORMANCE AND HIGH AVAILABILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18332242 Titled 'ADAPTIVE MULTIPATH FABRIC FOR BALANCED PERFORMANCE AND HIGH AVAILABILITY'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a computing system that ensures high availability of computing resources. It consists of multiple interfaces, sets of computing resources, and switches. Each set of computing resources has multiple computing resources, and each switch is connected to an interface and a set of computing resources. If one switch fails, the remaining switches distribute data traffic through cross-connections between them.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computing system providing high-availability access to computing resources includes: a plurality of interfaces; a plurality of sets of computing resources, each of the sets of computing resources including a plurality of computing resources; and at least three switches, each of the switches being connected to a corresponding one of the interfaces via a host link and being connected to a corresponding one of the sets of computing resources via a plurality of resource connections, each of the switches being configured such that data traffic is distributed to remaining ones of the switches through a plurality of cross-connections between the switches if one of the switches fails.
