HP (A3511A#003#004) Multiplexer Recommendations

The HP Fibre Channel-SCSI Multiplexer (FC-SCSI MUX) is another HP product that contributes to Hewlett-Packard's Fibre Channel and Storage Area Network solution. ??The FC-SCSI MUX enables existing SCSI devices to interface directly with hosts that have Fibre Channel technology. The FC-SCSI MUX increases distance, by unleashing the SCSI cable distance limitations between the host and the mass storage devices from 25 m (SCSI cable) to 10 km (Fibre cable). Connectivity is increased through the number of SCSI device attachments to the host by four: from 15 to 60 device attachments. You also get better performance due to increased link bandwidth, decreased SCSI bus congestion, and the ability to put more active spindles on the system.
