NX1010MIOH
The NX1010MIOH (Media Host) is designed to support N + 1
NX1010MIOHs streaming data from Fibre Channel shared storage over
Ethernet to clients (I/O nodes) that are attached via Ethernet. This system
design allows NEXIO to scale to very large channel counts, without being
vulnerable to single points of failure in the connective layer. Groups of
clients (I/O nodes) are not supported by single Ethernet to Fibre Channel
bridge device. Instead, each client (I/O node) is able to automatically and
seamlessly change to an alternate NX1010MIOH (Media Host) machine in
the event there are communication problems with their primary
NX1010MIOH (Media Host).
The following examples show a sample topology for a NX1010MIOH
(Media Host), and a sample topology for a NX1010MIOH (Media Host)
with Intrinsic Mirroring.
