The MSA500 with the addition of this the new 292944-B21 4-port IO Module now gives customers the ability to deploy multi-host shared storage and high availability multipath IO configurations for unprecedented storage value targeted for Remote and Distributed IT deployments. The 4-Port Shared Storage module may be used in one of two primary configurations:

1. Enhance cluster fault tolerance and IO performance by adding dual paths from the host servers to the shared storage. This provides an additional level of fault tolerance by adding redundancy to both the HBA in the host server as well as the SCSI cables connecting the host servers to the shared storage. This also gives the ability to configure static load balancing between the HBA improving IO performance.

2. Another configuration possibility that the new 292944-B21 4-port option brings, is to direct attach up to four independent servers to the MSA500. The storage capacity to each server is assigned with SSP (Shared Storage Presentation), a utility that ships standard with the MSA500. Using SSP and sharing storage among multiple host servers maximizes available capacity utilization, and allows for additional hard drive capacity to be deployed on the fly (up to 2 TB or 14 total disk drives) with the online volume extension and online capacity expansion.
