SCALING MIDPLANE BANDWIDTH BETWEEN STORAGE PROCESSORS VIA NETWORK DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240232119 titled 'SCALING MIDPLANE BANDWIDTH BETWEEN STORAGE PROCESSORS VIA NETWORK DEVICES
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes techniques for providing communications bandwidth between storage processors (SPs) by electrically coupling the SPs with one side of a midplane and a network interface controller (NIC) device with the other side of the midplane. The NIC device is configured to convey communications between the SPs while they are electrically coupled with one side of the midplane and the NIC device is electrically coupled with the other side of the midplane.
- Techniques for providing communications bandwidth between storage processors (SPs) and a network interface controller (NIC) device.

Original Abstract Submitted
techniques provide communications bandwidth between storage processors (sps). such techniques involve electrically coupling the sps with a first side of a midplane. such techniques further involve electrically coupling a network interface controller (nic) device with a second side of the midplane that is opposite the first side of the midplane. such techniques further involve configuring the nic device to convey communications between the sps while the sps are electrically coupled with the first side of the midplane and while the nic device is electrically coupled with the second side of the midplane that is opposite the first side of the midplane.
