Within the Adaptable Modular Storage 2000 family, the innovative architecture of the Hitachi Dynamic Load Balancing Controller plays a pivotal role by automatically and dynamically managing storage loads and dramatically simplifying storage administration, while providing the superior levels of performance that growing businesses require. Its symmetric active/active controller technology offers something unique: by decoupling the host system from specific LUN assignments, I/O processes can be automatically routed along the most efficient path, for unprecedented flexibility and optimized SAN performance.
