Product: PowerPath Multipathing from EMC

PowerPath Multipathing
Information access optimization

EMC PowerPath Multipathing automatically tunes your storage area network (SAN) and selects alternate paths for your data if necessary. Residing on the server, PowerPath Multipathing enhances SAN performance and application availability. It also integrates multiple-path I/O capabilities, automatic load balancing, and path failover functions for complete path management.

PowerPath Multipathing supports a wide range of servers including cluster servers connected to EMC Symmetrix, EMC CLARiiON, EMC Invista, Hitachi Data Systems Lightning, HP XP, IBM Enterprise Storage Server, and HPQ storage systems. Virtual Servers are supported by EMC PowerPath/VE.
