7 Dell EMC SC Series Storage with SAS Front-end Support for Microsoft Hyper-V | 3026-CD-WS | V3
For small environments with a limited number of physical host servers, SAS FE connectivity provides
comparable performance and resiliency to FC or iSCSI but without the extra cost and complexity of additional
hardware components. There are important scale and design factors to consider if choosing SAS FE instead
of FC or iSCSI:
Scale: With SAS FE, the number of physical hosts per SC Series array is limited to a maximum of four MPIO
hosts.
Design: With SAS FE, physical hosts must be in close proximity to the SC Series array, typically in the same
or an adjacent rack that is within reach of SAS cabling (typically one to six meters in length).
