The VSC7192 is a 12 port, FC-AL Loop Switch
which provides up to 2400MB/s aggregate
duplex bandwidth. This non-blocking, bufferless
switch is optimized for the Fibre Channel

Arbitrated Loop environment and takes
advantage of this protocol's simplicity to reduce

cost and complexity in the switch. When paired with the VSC120
Enclosure Management Controller and its associated firmware, the
VSC7192/VSC120 chipset provides high performance, advanced
diagnostic, best-in-class fault isolation and high availability for
storage sub-systems used in Storage Area Networks.

G E N E R A L D E S C R I P T I O N :

Up to 125 devices can be attached to the VSC7192 Loop Switch at
1.0625 or 2.125Gb/s. Groups of devices may be "Zoned" together to
provide isolation, security, performance and LIP isolation between
zones. The VSC120 may be a "shared" member of each zone.

The flexibility of the VSC7192 makes it the ideal solution for many
embedded switch applications especially JBOD arrays and RAID
systems where flexibility, data availability and performance are required.
