Zusammenfassung:Techniques provide communications bandwidth between storage processors (SPs). Such techniques involve electrically coupling the SPs with a first side of a midplane. Such techniques further involve electrically coupling a network interface controller (NIC) device with a second side of the midplane that is opposite the first side of the midplane. Such techniques further involve configuring the NIC device to convey communications between the SPs while the SPs are electrically coupled with the first side of the midplane and while the NIC device is electrically coupled with the second side of the midplane that is opposite the first side of the midplane.
