ParAccel's patent-pending technology dynamically balances I/O across direct-attached storage (disk or solid-state), which enables NetApp SAN or NAS to boost analytic performance in a way no other product can, making it possible for customers to perform nimble analytics on their data warehouse, while also helping to ensure that their data is affordably, easily managed and protected.
