Flexible connectivity

The storage system supports connectivity to mainframe hosts through FICON
directors and to open servers via Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE) front-end directors. The storage system can be configured with a combination of
all of these front-end directors to support both mainframe hosts and open servers
simultaneously.
