Abstract:
Techniques are generally described related to a multi-channel storage system. One example multi-channel storage system may include a plurality of memory-controllers, each memory-controller configured to control one or more storage units. The multi-channel storage system may further include a multi-channel interface having a plurality of input-output (IO) channels; and a channel-controller switch configured to support data communications between any one of the plurality of IO channels and any one of the plurality of memory-controllers. Upon receiving a request instructing using at least two of the plurality of IO channels and at least two of the plurality of memory-controllers, the multi-channel interface of the multi-channel storage system is configured to utilize the channel-controller switch to concurrently transfer data via the at least two of the plurality of IO channels or the at least two of the plurality of memory-controllers.
