Open-E Feature Pack - Active Active Failover iSCSI

Thanks to the Active-Active functionality, overall cluster performance is improved since the read, write and replication traffic can be balanced on both nodes. Within just a few minutes, you will have up to several hundred gigabytes available on your network – without much effort and no downtime.

Open-E DSS V7 Active-Active Cluster Advantages

• Doubles your overall performance in most of the configurations. You just need to set it up right.
• Eliminates a Single Point of Failure by configuring Active-Active clusters without shared (common) discs. Thanks to this, your data is more secure.
• Self-Validation of the system! When starting a cluster, DSS V7 checks all critical settings on each node, including: (SCSI IDs, tasks, ping notes, configurations, resource pools, auxiliary paths, and more). This way, clusters can’t be started if they were configured wrong.
• Cluster security is improved by the ability to configure as many Auxiliary paths as many network connections you have.
• Increased sensibility for network Failures, thanks to the possibility of configuring Ping Nodes
• Speeds up networking connectivity, since I/O traffic is equally balanced on two nodes.
• Fully utilizes all processing power on both cluster nodes.
• Eliminates waste of hardware resources by providing more efficient usage.
