Claim:
1. Data storage device, characterized in that at least two front components ( 1 - 1 ′) are connected in parallel to a plurality of nodes ( 2 - 2 ′- 2 ″ . . . 2 ″) in an Infiniband (IB) network ( 3 ), where each front component incorporates a series of internal channels ( 4 ) and a series of external channels ( 5 ), so that the internal channels, responsible for providing access to the nodes ( 2 - 2 ′- 2 ″ . . . 2 ″) of Infiniband (IB)-type at different speeds 40/56/100 Gbits/s, whilst the external channels ( 5 ), responsible for providing the connectivity with clients by Ethernet channels at different speeds 1/10/40 Gbits/s, Fiber Channel (FC) channels at different speeds or Infiniband channels at different speeds 40/56/100 Gbits/s, having provided that the nodes ( 2 ) are a grouping of data storage disks ( 6 ) interconnected by the Infiniband (IB)-type network, and where each node has a dual connection channel through a corresponding front component and a CPU and have internal memory to manage access to the disks of the Infiniband network.
