Using the StorageWorks FC-AL Switch 8 as the cornerstone of your SAN
deployment, you can start by combining your primary storage components,
such as the RA4000/RA4100 storage systems and secondary storage
Enterprise Backup Solution components, such as tape libraries
(TL890/TL891/TL895) on the same departmental SAN. With a 12Gbps switch
engine, the StorageWorks FC-AL Switch 8 delivers the necessary resiliency
and speed to isolate your client-server network from heavier storage network
traffic. Furthermore, as your connection needs grow, the 8-port StorageWorks
FC-AL Switch 8 can be expanded to 11 ports using the StorageWorks FC-AL
Switch 3-Port Expansion Module.
The StorageWorks FC-AL Switch 8 can be easily managed using management
tools such as StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC), Compaq Insight
Manager -XE (CIM-XE), Compaq Insight Manager (CIM), Array
Configuration Utility (ACU), and the StorageWorks Switch Management
Utility.
