Serial attached SCSI simulator aids design choices
February 11, 2013
Serial attached SCSI (SAS) currently uses an expander-based networking architecture. The expander acts as a pure port extender with no switching backplane involved, meaning there is minimal flow control and processing taking place. This architecture is severely limited for enterprises requiring larger storage area networks. In fact, once the number of connections starts to increase from tens and hundreds to thousands of connections, the entire network performance begins to decline.

AVnu Alliance & UNH-IOL Launch Audio Video Bridge Certification Program
February 4, 2013
AVB provides a huge step forward for transporting audio/visual content, and provides a means for replacing the diverse varieties of point-to-point connectors with a single, extensible network. For professional uses, it provides deterministic low latency and low jitter. Unlike proprietary A/V networking solutions, which are typically focused on a single industry, the AVB standards were developed by IEEE as an evolution of Ethernet, making it applicable to pro audio, consumer, and automotive industries, to name a few.

The Connected Home Protocol
January 9, 2013
As tech-savvy individuals, it's likely that we've all had a phone call from a family member or friend that usually begins with the obligatory compliment, "I know you're good with computers, and I was hoping you could help me ..." A few years ago, this type of call was more about helping our family member or friend find a file on their computer, but today the technical challenges have evolved. Now, the questions are more likely about connectivity within the...
