    Abstract: A system includes a fabric switch including a motherboard, a baseboard management controller (BMC), a network switch configured to transport network signals, and a PCIe switch configured to transport PCIe signals; a midplane; and a plurality of device ports. Each of the plurality of device ports is configured to connect a storage device to the motherboard of the fabric switch over the midplane and carry the network signals and the PCIe signals over the midplane. The storage device is configurable in multiple modes based a protocol established over a fabric connection between the system and the storage device.

    Abstract: A method may include coupling a device to a host through a connector, receiving, by a host controller, a request for boost power from the device, determining, by the host controller, an amount of surplus power available from one or more power sources arranged to provide power to the device through the connector, and allocating at least a portion of the surplus power to the device as boost power. The method may further include negotiating an amount of the boost power based on the amount of surplus power available from the one or more power sources. The method may further include monitoring a power consumption of the device, and reducing a total power allocation to the device based on the power consumption of the device.

    Abstract: A computer storage array detects and counters denial of service (DoS) attacks. The computer storage array provides one or more remote initiators with access to one or more storage devices connected to the computer storage array. According to an example embodiment, the computer storage array comprises: a computer processor configured to run an operating system for managing networking protocols; a networking device configured to monitor and route network traffic, at a packet level to, and from the storage devices; a baseboard management controller (BMC) configured to detect a DoS attack based on monitoring of statistics of the network traffic by the networking device; a PCIe switch connecting the BMC with each of the storage devices via a PCIe bus; and a computer motherboard to which the computer processor, networking device, BMC and PCIe switch are installed.

    Abstract: A rack-mountable data storage system includes: a chassis including one or more switchboards; a midplane interfacing with the one or more switchboards; and one or more data storage devices removably coupled to the midplane using a connector. At least one data storage device of the one or more data storage devices include a logic device to interface with the midplane. The logic device provides a device-specific interface of a corresponding data storage device with the midplane. The at least one data storage device is configured using the logic device according to a first protocol based on a signal on a pin of the connector, and the at least one data storage device is reconfigurable according to a second protocol based on a change of the signal on the pin of the connector using the logic device.
