|
Due to increased business and regulatory requirements, organizations of all sizes regularly need to move, share, and protect their data—but they often face significant challenges in doing so.
|
|
|
For instance, smaller organizations might lack the dedicated resources, skills, or budgets for high-end data protection systems and business continuity. Larger enterprises might need to connect multiple remote sites in a robust manner, yet have limited budget to do so. And IP network service providers might need a proven remote connectivity solution that interoperates with existing Storage Area Network (SAN) infrastructures and is simple to deploy and manage.

The Brocade® 7500E Extension Switch, leveraging leading-edge Brocade 7500 technology, provides the performance, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness required to meet these and other business requirements. The Brocade 7500E combines Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) capabilities with fabric isolation for point-to-point connectivity of remote SAN fabrics or Fibre Channel storage over IP Wide Area Networks (WANs) without merging fabrics.
|
|
|
By avoiding fabric merges, the Brocade 7500E provides WAN link and remote SAN fault isolation to increase availability for mission-critical applications and to minimize the impact of network failures. As a result, it is ideal for supporting strategic initiatives for disaster recovery, business continuity, and data migration.
