Abstract
A switched fabric mezzanine storage module (560) includes a storage module (562) and a switched fabric connector (563) coupled to the storage module. The storage module is coupled to directly communicate with a switched fabric (506), where the switched fabric storage mezzanine module is coupled to a payload module (502) having one of a 3U form factor, a 6U form factor and a 9U form factor. The payload module can include at least one multi-gigabit connector (518) coupled to a rear edge (519) of the payload module, where the at least one multi-gigabit connector is coupled to communicatively interface with a backplane (504).
