IBM SAN04B-R - System Storage Router, Инструкция по установке, обслуживанию и эксплуатации, Страница: 29 / 103

Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN04B-R
Delivering 4 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) routing capability coupled with
hardware-assisted traffic forwarding for FC over Internet Protocol (FCIP), the IBM
System Storage SAN04B-R router helps address your most demanding availability,
performance, manageability, and scalability requirements.
The router is based on 4 Gbps FC ASIC technology coupled with hardware-assisted
traffic processing designed to enable outstanding FC routing and FCIP services.
The router can integrate into existing IBM SAN b-type infrastructures, whether
router- or switch-based. The FC routing and FCIP capabilities help give you
flexibility for a variety of architectures, while extending the reach of the IBM SAN
b-type product family.
The router is designed to enable 4 Gbps FC routing along with hardware-assisted
traffic forwarding for FCIP. Each router includes two active 4 Gbps FC ports and two
50 Mbps Ethernet ports (up to 1 Gbps with upgrade license), offering you the
high-performance feature set required to run storage applications at line-rate speed,
whether the medium is FC or Ethernet.
