What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate data transfer rates from the SCSI (LVD Ultra160) standard, a high-speed parallel storage interface, to ISDN (dual channel), a telecommunication data service using bonded channels. It assists in comparing bandwidth values across different legacy IT and networking technologies.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (LVD Ultra160) units you wish to convert
-
Select the conversion to ISDN (dual channel) units
-
View the result displaying the equivalent ISDN (dual channel) data rate
-
Use results to compare or plan between storage and telecommunication data transfers
Key Features
-
Converts SCSI (LVD Ultra160) bandwidth rates to ISDN (dual channel) throughput
-
Simple browser-based interface for quick calculations
-
Supports understanding legacy infrastructure and telecommunication data rates
-
Provides clear examples and use cases highlighting data transfer contexts
Examples
-
1 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) equals 10,000 ISDN (dual channel)
-
0.5 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) equals 5,000 ISDN (dual channel)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing legacy storage bus bandwidth to telecommunication channel throughput
-
Planning network and data migration projects integrating storage and ISDN link speeds
-
Evaluating performance of disk arrays or RAID controllers against ISDN network capabilities
-
Assessing remote LAN access and backup solutions using ISDN bonding configurations
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the converter to understand relative performance between storage interfaces and ISDN channels
-
Apply conversion results when planning legacy infrastructure upgrades or compatibility
-
Remember the units represent different contexts, aiding conceptual comparison not direct interface compatibility
-
Consider the conversion as a helpful metric for network and storage bandwidth alignment
Limitations
-
Converts between fundamentally different technologies: storage bandwidth versus telecommunication throughput
-
ISDN dual channel rates are significantly lower and represent service-level speeds, not raw hardware performance
-
Conversion facilitates planning and comparison but does not imply direct interoperability
-
Measurement contexts vary greatly, so use results as relative indicators only
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra160) measure?
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) measures the maximum bandwidth for data transfer over a parallel SCSI interface used in storage devices.
-
What is ISDN (dual channel)?
-
ISDN (dual channel) refers to using two bonded B channels of an ISDN Basic Rate Interface to achieve combined data throughput around 128 kbit/s.
-
Can this conversion indicate device compatibility?
-
No, this conversion helps compare performance metrics but does not indicate direct device interoperability.
Key Terminology
