Sun StorageTek Traffic Manager software provides server-based dynamic path SAN-wide I/O failover, failback, and load balancing. The software, which can help improve the performance and availability of business and mission-critical SAN-enabled applications, supports multiple I/O paths concurrently to help eliminate single points of failure within the SAN, thereby maintaining continuous access to both data and Fibre Channel storage devices. Sun StorageTek Traffic Manager software helps ease administrative overhead, allowing bandwidth on demand and new LUN creation without rebooting to be easily managed across multiple disparate host servers. Sun StorageTek Traffic Manager software installs on Sun Solaris, Red Hat Linux Enterprise Edition, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, IBM AIX, or HP-UX host servers connected to Sun StorageTek Fibre Channel disk arrays.

- Dynamic database configuration; No time-consuming device database to maintain
- Through a single centralized, easy-to-use, convenient interface, administrators can quickly access the state and path configuration of Sun disk arrays and systems attached to Sun Solaris, Microsoft Windows (NT EE, 2000, 2003 server), IBM AIX, and HP-UX operating environments. Cost savings of both time and money can be decreased as training and time to repair outages are reduced.
- Load balancing between data paths, can help to significantly improve overall IO performance
- Data path fail-over and fail-back to SAN-attached disks; data is rerouted to an alternate path if a RAID controller, FC HBA, FC switch, or FC cable fails.
