Abstract
A computing system providing high-availability access to computing resources includes: a plurality of interfaces; a plurality of sets of computing resources, each of the sets of computing resources including a plurality of computing resources; and at least three switches, each of the switches being connected to a corresponding one of the interfaces via a host link and being connected to a corresponding one of the sets of computing resources via a plurality of resource connections, each of the switches being configured such that data traffic is distributed to remaining ones of the switches through a plurality of cross-connections between the switches if one of the switches fails.
