Hitachi 9900 manual Heterogeneous solutions today

Introduction

As shown in Figure 6, the heterogeneous solutions of today require the separate configuration of physical ports for each host platform type supported, particularly in high availability path failover and clustered environments. This both increases expense through unnecessary extra ports and limits heterogeneous consolidation, resulting in higher TCO.
