Fabric Notifications are an important tool for application, SAN, and storage administrators in their quest for maximum application uptime and performance. Faced with high impact fabric-wide events that are extremely difficult to troubleshoot and root cause, Fabric Notifications can be a game changer. In order for this to happen, end-devices must be listening for Fabric Notifications. Providers of many SAN and storage products have embraced Fabric Notifications and have delivered products supporting this technology. Dell is doing its part and has made significant investments in this technology to enable Fabric Notifications on PowerMax and PowerPath. SAN and storage administrators must also do their part and action upon the information provided by Fabric Notifications.
It doesn’t stop here though. Dell is investigating enhancing the information provided by Fabric Notifications and supplementing it with other sources to provide storage administrators with as much useful and relevant information as possible. Finally, automation of remediations on receipt of Fabric Notifications has enormous potential. MPIO and PowerPath integration with Fabric Notifications are just a few examples. There are many other powerful automation opportunities being investigated by Dell. By delivering the Dell integration available today, customers will be well-positioned to take advantage of new features based on Fabric Notifications.
