IO Acceleration
IO Acceleration solutions are used to eliminate some of the performance impact distance has on disk or tape SCSI sequences Disk write acceleration – used for disk replication solutions Tape write acceleration – used for tape backup solutions Tape read acceleration – used for tape data recovery
IOA Acceleration is a SAN service that uses Fibre Channel Redirect (FCR) to intercept data and accelerate the SCSI write and read sequences in a services processor
IOA is transport agnostic and can be used for FC and FCIP transports
