Today’s mission-critical storage environments require greater consistency, predictability, and performance to keep pace with

Quality of Service (QoS):
Enables zones with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis. This can
be very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic.
Traffic Isolation Zones:
Defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes. Failover allows a non-preferred path to be used if
the preferred fails. TIZs use failover by default but it can be disabled if traffic should stop if a preferred
