Abstract

A file server system provides increased bandwidth between a processor, a memory and a redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID). The file server includes a processor connected to a processor bus. A first bridging circuit couples the processor bus to a peripheral bus. An array of disks is controlled by at least one disk controller. The disk controller is coupled to a local RAID bus. A second bridging circuit couples the local RAID bus to the processor bus independent of the first bridging circuit.
