Product Description
The Brocade BR-7800F-0002 is a sophisticated Fibre Channel SAN extension switch engineered to bridge geographically dispersed data centers and enable robust disaster recovery and data replication strategies. It offers 16 high-speed 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports for local SAN connectivity, coupled with 4 additional ports that can be configured to support FCIP (Fibre Channel over IP). This FCIP capability allows organizations to extend their SANs across Wide Area Networks (WANs), creating a unified and resilient storage infrastructure over long distances. This switch is optimized for performance-intensive tasks such as synchronous and asynchronous data replication, backup, and business continuity operations. The 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports provide ample bandwidth for high-performance storage access within the local SAN, while the FCIP tunnels leverage IP networks to transport storage traffic efficiently and securely over WAN links. The non-blocking architecture ensures that all ports can operate at their maximum capacity without contention, delivering consistent performance for critical data movement. Designed for enterprise environments, the Brocade BR-7800F-0002 incorporates advanced features for security, manageability, and reliability. It supports robust encryption for data in transit over FCIP tunnels, protecting sensitive information. The switch is built with hot-swappable components for ease of maintenance and high availability, ensuring continuous operation of critical SAN extension services. This device is a key component for organizations looking to implement comprehensive disaster recovery solutions and extend their SAN capabilities across multiple sites.
