Dot Hill Systems Corp. (Nasdaq: HILL) announced the latest addition to its increasing patent portfolio -- an innovation that optimizes iSCSI storage area network (SAN) performance and reduces expansion costs.
Using the flow control mechanisms built into iSCSI SANs, the technology in Dot Hill's 86th U.S. patent, numbered 8,244,939, supports increased capacity for maximized performance of storage controllers and networks. It achieves this by allowing storage controller ports to handle more read and write requests from the server. If one port is maxed out due to a full queue of read and write requests, the Dot Hill software innovation makes it possible to borrow queue depth from another less busy port, reducing the number of "retries" by hosts, and more efficiently relaying requests to the storage controller.
