  • High availability storage system
    Publication number: 20070294564
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a storage system including at least two controllers configured to handle write requests and a non-volatile cache connected to both controllers that stores data received from the controllers. The non-volatile cache is accessible by the first and second controllers using an interface technology permitting two or more communication paths between a particular active controller and the non-volatile cache to be aggregated to form a higher data rate communication path. Additionally, a plurality of storage devices are each connected using the interface technology to each controller for storing data received from the controllers.
