A World Wide Name WWN or World Wide Identifier WWID is a unique identifier which identifies a particular Fibre Channel , Advanced Technology Attachment Advanced Technology Attachment ATA or Serial Attached SCSI Serial Attached SCSI SAS target. Each WWN is an 8 byte number derived from an IEEE Organizationally Unique Identifier OUI and vendor supplied information. There are two formats of WWN defined by the IEEE Original format addresses are assigned to manufacturers by the IEEE standards committee, and are built into the device at build time, similar to an Ethernet MAC address . The first 2 bytes are either hex 10 00 or 2x xx where the x s are vendor specified followed by the 3 byte vendor identifier and 3 bytes for a vendor specified serial number New addressing schema the first nibble is either hex 5 or 6 followed by a 3 byte vendor identifier and 36 bits for a vendor specified serial number Partial List of WWN Company Identifiers 00 50 76 IBM 00 17 38 IBM , formerly XIV. 00 A0 98 NetApp 00 01 55 Promise Technology, Inc 00 60 69 Brocade Communications Systems 00 05 1E Brocade Communications Systems , formerly owned by Rhapsody Networks 00 60 DF Brocade Communications Systems , formerly CNT Technologies Corporation 00 05 30 Cisco 00 05 73 Cisco 00 05 9b Cisco 00 E0 8B QLogic Host adapter HBA s, original identifier space 00 1B 32 QLogic Host adapter HBA s. new identifier space starting to be used in 2007 00 C0 DD QLogic FC switches 00 90 66 QLogic formerly Troika Networks 00 11 75 QLogic formerly PathScale, Inc 08 00 88 Brocade Communications Systems , formerly McDATA Corporation.

In the computer storage field, a Fibre Channel switch is a network switch compatible with the Fibre Channel FC protocol. It allows the creation of a Fibre Channel fabric , that is currently the core component of most storage area network s SAN . The fabric is a network of Fibre Channel devices which allows many to many communication, device name lookup, computer security security , and redundancy engineering redundancy . FC switches implement Fibre Channel zoning zoning , a mechanism that disables unwanted traffic between certain fabric nodes. A Fibre Channel director is, by current convention, a switch with at least 128 ports. It does not differ from a switch in core FC protocol functionality. The term itself initially soaked from old ESCON technology. Fibre Channel switches may be deployed one at a time or in larger multi switch configurations. SAN administrators typically add new switches as their server and storage needs grow, connecting switches together via fiber optic cable using the standard device ports. Some switch vendors now offer dedicated high speed stacking ports to handle inter switch connections similar to existing stackable Ethernet switches , allowing high performance multi switch configurations to be created using fewer switches overall. Major manufacturers of Fibre Channel switches are Brocade Communications Systems Brocade , Cisco Systems , and QLogic .

Unreferenced date December 2009 The NCR 53C9x is a family of application specific integrated circuits ASIC produced by the former NCR Corporation for implementing the SCSI protocol in hardware. The 53C9x is a low cost solution and was therefore widely adopted by OEM s in various motherboard and peripheral device designs. The original 53C90 lacked direct memory access DMA capability, an omission that was addressed in the 53C90A and later in the 53C94 and 53C96 versions. The 53C90 A supported the SCSI 1 protocol and implemented the eight bit bus. The 53C94 supported SCSI 2 features, as well as SCSI 1, and the 53c96 added support for the high voltage differential HVD bus. QLogic FAS216 and Emulex ESP100 chips are a drop in replacement for the NCR 53C94. The 53C90A and 53C94 96 were also produced under license by Advanced Micro Devices AMD . A list of systems which include the 53C9x chipset includes 53C94 Sun Microsystems SPARCstation s and the SPARCclassic DEC 3000 AXP DECstation s and the PMAZ A TURBOchannel card MIPS Magnum Power Macintosh G3 often used as a secondary SCSI controller with MESH Macintosh Enhanced SCSI Hardware as the primary 53C96 Macintosh Quadra 650 Macintosh LC475 NCR Corp DEFAULTSORT Ncr 53c9x Category SCSI Category Integrated circuits Category NCR products ... more details
