Crossroads will also demonstrate its Online SAN Configurator, which makes it easy for companies go online and find the products necessary to implement an interoperable The ability for one system to communicate or work with another. See interoperability. Fibre Channel SAN. Crossroads' Fibre Channel Storage Routers provide the critical interface for seamless migration of SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. devices to the SAN, offering unique interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. and storage flexibility. The router router Portable electric power tool used in carpentry and furniture making that consists of an electric motor, a base, two handle knobs, and bits (cutting tools). A router can cut fancy edges for shelving, grooves for storm windows and weather stripping, circles and ovals also enables LAN-free backup, which eliminates bottlenecks that plague enterprise network backup operations and allow remote serviceability (system) serviceability - The ease with which corrective maintenance or preventative maintenance can be performed on a system (e.g. by a hardware service technician). Higher serviceability improves availability and reduces service cost. Serviceability is one component of RAS. and management. Demonstrations will be running continually at the Crossroads booth during CeBIT 2000 in Hannover, Germany, Feb. 24 through March 1, 2000.
