Intel® RAID High Availability Direct Attached Storage for Intel® Server Products
The Intel® RAID High Availability storage solution provides fault tolerance capabilities as a key part of a high-availability data storage system. This solution combines redundant Intel® RAID Controllers, computer nodes, cable connections, SAS expanders, and dual-port SAS drives to provide failover redundancy through multiple paths to data.
The redundant components and software technologies provide a high-availability system with ongoing service that is not subject to service interruptions found with non-redundant system configurations.
