The DMX Series models’ functional block diagram displays hosts connected to the back adapters<br />

of the front-end directors; they send their data to the Symmetrix DMX Series system’s cache. The<br />

new Point-to-Point matrix connection between cache and back-end disk directors allows for highperformance<br />

destaging to the drives, or retrieval of data from the disks into cache. Besides the<br />

Disk Adapters and drives, the back-end has a new control card, called a Port Bypass Card (PBC).<br />
