Eric -
It sounds like a "software Hub" to me.
No, this is a key component in "Multi-path I/O" which is a requirement for high availabiltiy clusters if they are to do sub-second failover. It builds on Tandem patents. It is even more important than it appears. It allows multiple servers to own the same I/O devices, and allows the I/O data connection to go through multiple independent host systems concurrently. only valuable, of course, if you can have the I/O remote from the host box (another CPQ patented technology...) and also the cluster technology to have data and I/O hook up in a device independent way (IBM and CPQ both have patents in this area).
