The 4/32 SAN Switch provides the flexible building blocks customers need to deploy highly scalable, highly available and easily manageable storage area networks in adaptive enterprise deployments.
Fabric Watch enables each switch to monitor the SAN for potential faults-and automatically alert network managers to problems before they become failures. Fabric Watch tracks a variety of SAN fabric elements, events, and counters. Monitoring fabric-wide events, ports, SFPs, and environmental parameters permits early fault detection and isolation as well as performance measurement. Each switch in the SAN needs its own Fabric Watch license
Optional
Fabric Manager
Fabric Manager is a highly scalable, Java-based application that manages multiple switches and multiple fabrics in real time, helping SAN administrators with SAN configuration, monitoring, dynamic provisioning, and daily management of SANs. SAN administrators gain rapid access to critical SAN information across multiple personality fabrics, including both Fabric OS SANs and enhanced Secure Fabric OS SANs.
Optional
ISL Trunking
For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to four E-ports to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each switch needs its own license. The switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 32 Gb) when routing connections between switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which comprise the logical trunk group.
Optional
Power Pack Software
Specially priced software package, which Includes the following management and monitoring software: ISL Trunking, Advanced Performance Monitoring, Extended Fabric and Fabric Watch.
