Information about SCSI Switches

SCSI switches connect test points or devices to instruments for the testing, measuring, or monitoring industrial systems. Small computer system interface (SCSI) is an intelligent peripheral bus with a standard, device-independent protocol that allows many peripheral devices to be connected to the SCSI port. SCSI switches are often used in applications such as peripheral sharing between two hosts, clustered peripheral configurations, multiple peripheral cross-platform disaster recovery, and business continuity applications. SCSI switches are an excellent way to share expensive SCSI tape libraries and drives, RAID arrays, and peripherals such as printers and scanners. Redundant array of independent drives or disks (RAID) is a term for data storage schemes that divide or replicate data among multiple hard drives

Products & Services Related to SCSI Switches

SCSI Adapters and SCSI Controllers

SCSI adapters and SCSI controllers (SCSI cards) are computer interface cards that are installed in an expansion slot. They are used to connect the SCSI system to several devices and peripherals using a daisy chain method.

SCSI Products

SCSI products is a general search form that covers small computer systems interface (SCSI) products such as SCSI host adapters and controllers, converters, terminators, and switches. More detailed search forms are available for individual areas.

SCSI Terminators

SCSI terminators are electrical circuits placed at each end of a SCSI cable for impedance matching. They are an important part of any small computer system interface (SCSI) that uses hard drives, CD-ROMs, scanners, tape drives, or other SCSI peripherals controlled by a SCSI bus.
