In today's business environment, customers require computing systems that can guarantee availability on a 7 x 24 basis. HP StorageWorks Secure Path satisfies the customer requirement for solutions that provide no-single-point-of-failure in a storage area network (SAN) and external storage solutions. In addition, Secure Path provides path management infrastructure for technologies such as disaster tolerance and high availability clusters.
Secure Path is multi-path, high availability software that manages and maintains continuous data access to HP storage systems, enabling no-single-point-of-failure from server to storage. Secure Path is host-resident software that monitors the data paths between server and storage to increase availability of information. In the event that a path failure is detected, Secure Path fails over to an alternative path. When that path becomes available, Secure Path can automatically failback to the original path
HP now supports the native failover capabilities that are included with operating systems for Windows (MPIO), Linux (Device Mapper), HP-UX (11i v3), Sun/Solaris (MPxIO), IBM/AIX (MPIO) and Netware (MPIO).
While HP continues to offer and support the Secure Path products, we are encouraging customers to transition to these native solutions. For more information about these native solutions, please contact your local sales representative.
