Reliability research on multi-switch fibre channel fabric networks

The boom of data volume and complexity far exceeds that of the capacity of existing storage management system. It brings an enormous challenge for data security and transmission reliability, especially in the coming era of Big Data. In this paper, we proposed an improved ORDER algorithm as a solution on computational intelligence technology, which is more suitable for calculating the reliability of the complex multi-switch fibre channel fabric networks. Then, we use two methods, based on redundancy, to improve the network reliability. By the simulation experiments, the basic path redundancy is more efficient than the whole path redundancy under the same cost.
