Multi-Path I/O |
Enhance Technology UltraStor™ RS8 IP-4 Series enterprise IntelliRAID now supports Microsoft  Multi-path I/O (MPIO) that integrates tightly with the Microsoft Windows® family of products and their architectures. High reliance on the Internet and e-commerce means that organizations are increasingly requiring that their data be available 24x7, year round. Multi-pathing, the ability of a system to use more than one read/write path to a storage device, is a high availability solution that provides fault tolerance against single-point-of failure in hardware components. Multi-pathing can also provide load balancing of I/O traffic, thereby improving system and application performance. |
