Product Description
The Brocade BR-7800-12AP is a high-performance SAN Extension Switch from the Brocade 7800 series, engineered to provide robust connectivity and advanced features for enterprise Storage Area Networks (SANs). This switch is specifically designed to extend SAN capabilities over long distances using IP networks, facilitating disaster recovery, data replication, and business continuity across geographically dispersed data centers. With a comprehensive port configuration, the BR-7800-12AP offers 16 standard 8G Fibre Channel ports for local SAN connectivity, complemented by an additional 4 x 8G Fibre Channel ports for increased density or flexibility. Crucially, it includes 2 x FCIP (Fibre Channel over IP) Active 8G ports. These ports enable the encapsulation of Fibre Channel traffic within IP packets, allowing for secure and efficient SAN extension over WAN links without requiring dedicated Fibre Channel links between sites. This SAN Extension Switch is a critical component for organizations looking to build resilient and geographically distributed storage infrastructures. It supports advanced features such as encryption, compression, and Quality of Service (QoS) to optimize performance and security over IP networks. The Brocade BR-7800-12AP ensures that critical data can be accessed and managed across multiple locations, supporting business-critical operations and compliance requirements.
