Comparing high-speed telecom network rates with legacy storage interface bandwidths
-
Planning migration or integration between optical transmission systems and storage arrays
-
Assessing data throughput compatibility between carrier networks and storage devices
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify unit definitions when comparing network and storage data rates
-
Consider the differences between bits and bytes in unit interpretation
-
Use conversion for aligning system performance planning including network and storage components
Limitations
-
STM-64 represents optical line rates in gigabits per second while SCSI (LVD Ultra160) reflects storage throughput in megabytes per second
-
Conversion assumes maximum bandwidth but actual rates can vary due to overhead or network conditions
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) is a legacy standard with limited use in modern high-performance storage
