Abstract
Serial Storage Architecture (SSA) is a new I/O interconnect which provides high levels of connectivity availability, performance and fault tolerance-all implemented with cost effective serial technology. The currently available dual port devices allow construction of simple loops with up to 128 nodes, and aggregate bandwidth of up to 80 MBytes per second. Future availability of switches and higher speed links will support thousands of nodes and much higher aggregate data rates.
