Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connectors are one of the most popular interconnects available in the enterprise storage industry today. These Small Form Factor (SFF) standard connectors support high performance and differential signaling. The protocol has evolved over the years to meet advanced applications. They provide a point-to-point data transfer between motherboards and storage devices like HDDs or SDDs. 

Life is getting smart, so are our surroundings. Internet of Things has already started advancements in making our homes, cars and office spaces smarter with automation, then why should our cities be left out? With the escalating urban population, crowded cities and traffic on roads are creating a mess. It is essential for the authorities to take up steps to clear the chaos and move on to a more organized infrastructure. 

Industry 4.0 and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) is enabling a shift from a hierarchical factory and process automation control model to a decentralized, fully IP addressable network like the Cloud to the factory floor. As new process control modules, sensors, drives, and actuators are developed for Industrial Automation, new standardized interconnect systems are required.
