IBM Flex System FC5022 switches come standard with the following software features:
Full Fabric mode: Enables high performance 16 Gb or 8 Gb fabric switching
Access Gateway mode: Leverages NPIV to connect to any fabric without adding switch domains to
reduce management complexity
Dynamic Path Selection: Enables exchange-based load balancing across multiple Inter-Switch Links
for superior performance
Advanced Zoning: Segments a SAN into virtual private SANs to increase security and availability
Enhanced Group Management: Enables centralized and simplified management of SAN fabrics
through IBM Network Advisor
Server Application Optimization: Allows VM QoS, authentication, and monitoring from SAN through
adapter to VM and associated virtualized application
