 The Brocade 7500 combines the industry's first 4 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel routing capability with powerful hardware-assisted traffic forwarding for Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP). The switch features 16 Fibre Channel ports and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports-delivering high performance to run storage applications at line-rate speed with either protocol. - Provides an enterprise building block for consolidation, data mobility, and business continuity solutions that improve efficiency and cost savings
- Combines FCIP with Fibre Channel Routing to provide remote SAN connectivity while isolating IP WAN networks and SAN fabrics
- Optimizes performance for Fibre Channel- and FCIP-based SAN extension across distance with features such as Fast Write, Tape Pipelining, and hardware-based compression
- Maximizes bandwidth utilization with Adaptive Networking Services, including QoS and Traffic Management
- Enables secure connections across IP WANs through IPSec encryption
- Interoperates with Brocade switches, routers, and the Brocade DCX Backbone, enabling new levels of SAN scalability, performance, and investment protection
- Simplifies interconnection and support for mixed-vendor or heterogeneous SAN environments
By integrating these services in a single platform, the Brocade 7500 offers a wide range of benefits for inter-SAN connectivity, including long-distance SAN extension, greater resource sharing, and simplified management. Call one of NexStor SAN experts to discuss a trial of the Brocade 7500 today.
