EMC PowerPath/VE
Use EMC PowerPath/VE to provide predictable application performance, higher reliability, and more resilience in your growing virtual data center.
This SAN multipathing software uses patented algorithms to intelligently manage data paths between servers and storage. As a result, you benefit from up to 3x the IOPS compared with native multipathing and round-robin queuing methods.
You can deploy PowerPath/VE with EMC PowerPath for better and easier data path management across your virtual, physical, and cloud environments.
Key features:
- Provides intelligent multipathing in VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments
- Optimized for EMC VMAX, VNX, VNXe, and XtremIO storage arrays
- Supports qualified non-EMC arrays
- Works with Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
- Dynamically load balances across all available I/O paths for best virtual machine performance
- Increases scalability by intelligently managing data path usage
- Improves application availability: automatically detects data path failures, fails over to alternate paths, and restores paths after failures are resolved
