A high-Performance Platform for Fabric-Based Storage Applications

Delivering intelligence in Storage Area Networks (SANs), the Brocade 7600 Application Platform provides a high-speed, highly reliable hardware device for performing fabric-based services throughout heterogeneous data centre environments.

The Brocade 7600 is tightly integrated with a wide range of enterprise storage applications that leverage Brocade Storage Application Services (SAS) to provide wire-speed data movement and offload server resources.

Some of the features include:

• Provides a high-performance platform for tightly integrated storage applications that leverage the Brocade Storage Application Services (SAS) API - an implementation of the T11 FAIS standard
• Delivers intelligence in SANs to perform fabric-based storage services, including online data migration, storage virtualisation, and continuous data replication and protection
• Leverages a fully pipelined, multi-CPI RISC and memory system; up to 64 Gbit/sec throughput; and up to 1 million IOPS to meet the most demanding data centre environments

An Integrated Platform for Consolidation, Business Continuity and Global Data Mobility

Many of today's IT organisations have already implemented multiple Storage Area Networks (SANs) to support specific application, projects, and sites throughout their enterprises.

Now they are seeking ways to leverage those SANs for greater efficiency, improved data access, and new business continuity requirements

With the Brocade 7500 Extension Switch, these organisations can now interconnect and extend their SANs for greater resource utilisation, scalability, and data protection.

Some of the features include:

• Provides an enterprise building nlock for consolidation, data mobility, and business continuity solutions that improve efficiency and cost savings
• Combines FCIP extension with Fibre Channel switching and routing to provide local and remote storage and SAN connectivity while isolating SAN fabrics and IP WAN networks
