	Scale-up clusters require dual-ported media so that QuantaStor's IO fencing system can reserve device access to specific nodes for specific pools. These clusters generally consist of two QuantaStor servers with shared access to the storage media in a separate enclosure (JBOD or JBOF). Scale-up clusters using dual-ported NVMe media require the use of special NVMe based Storage-Bridge-Bay servers from Supermicro or the use of Western Digital Data24 42xx JBOFs.
