AMI has added Mirrored operating system (OS) capabilities to the StorTrends® iTX

boot hard disk drives fails, you still maintain the ability to boot to the StorTrends® iTX
operating system from the alternate hard disk drive.

bottleneck and the point of failure, adding capacity creates complexity, and no block-
level file support.
