Introduction
The IBM Storage Networking SAN50C-R Switch is an optimized platform for
deploying high-performance SAN extension solutions, distributed intelligent fabric
services, and cost-effective multiprotocol connectivity for both open systems and
mainframe environments. The IBM SAN50C-R Switch offers 40 auto-sensing 2-, 4-,
8-, and 16-Gbps line-rate Fibre Channel ports, eight 10-Gbps Ethernet Fibre
Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports, and two 10-Gbps Ethernet IP storage services
ports in a fixed two-rack-unit (2RU) form factor.
The IBM SAN50C-R Switch can be deployed in the existing native Fibre Channel
networks, which ensures protection of your investments in storage networks. Two
1/10-Gbps ports support Small Computer System Interface over IP (iSCSI) storage
services. By using the eight 10-Gbps Ethernet FCoE ports, the IBM SAN50C-R
Switch can be attached to the directly connected Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE) and Fibre Channel storage devices. The IBM SAN50C-R Switch supports
multi-tiered unified network fabric connectivity directly over FCoE. The IBM
SAN50C-R Switch has front-to-back airflow and comes with a set of storage
services for Fibre Channel and FCoE SANs with Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP), IO
accelerator (IOA), and data mobility migration (DMM).
The IBM SAN Extension over IP application package license is enabled as standard
on the two fixed 1/10 Gbps Ethernet IP storage services ports, enabling features
such as and compression on the switch without additional licenses.
