Multipathing: Performance and Redundancy:
Multipathing technology combines both failover and aggregated link throughput. It works with a dual RAID controller Fibre Channel storage solution and a host adapter card with a dedicated multipathing driver. Both controllers can aggregate performance across multiple Fibre Channel connections to the storage—effectively doubling throughput. Also, the driver detects if a controller fails or if a Fibre Channel cable is unplugged, and reroutes the signal through the working controller. The controller is also hot-swappable so you can replace it on the fly. Multipathing technology brings performance as well as reliability, reducing downtime and insuring continuous workflow with maximum performance.
LaCie and ATTO:
While LaCie has already developed multipathing drivers for Linux and Windows for many high-performance Fibre Channel cards, they have now partnered with ATTO to create a custom multipathing driver for Macintosh. The ATTO Celerity 8Gb/s is a highly reliable host bus adapter and features an intuitive GUI for advanced troubleshooting and performance-tuning. Purchase the ATTO Celerity from LaCie for a fully redundant Fibre Channel solution, as well as access to 12big premium local support** to help you maximize performance.
12big Rack Fibre 8:
The 12big Rack Fibre 8 features near-silent operation and high-performance throughput combined with Enterprise-Class components. Use the ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel card together with the dedicated LaCie multipathing driver to achieve 1280MB/s with 12 drives*** only or 2100MB/s with one expansion chassis.
