iSR6142
SAN over WAN Connectivity
Features
Optimizes SAN over WAN transfer to improve
•
performance and reduces costs. SmartWrite™
helps improve SAN over WAN performance by
reducing the latency of WAN transfers. The iSR6142
increases productivity by optimizing data transfers,
sharing devices, and replicating data.
Increases ROI by enabling SANs to grow and scale
•
independently. Many other SAN extension solutions
merge SAN fabrics, which limits the number of SAN
switches and devices. The iSR6142 removes the
limitations of a single name service.
Easy to use and own, with advanced install and
•
configuration wizards that allow set up in less than
15 minutes. The iSR6142 is very power efficient,
using only 48W, and helps reduce power and
cooling versus competitive products
Improves data protection. The iSR6142, with
•
Smart Write and FCIP support, has been tested
and certified with leading replication and data
management applications from EMC, HDS,
Symantec/Veritas, IBM, Legato, HP, NetApp, and
many more.
Benefits
QLogic’s iSR6142 multi-protocol router provides
•
low-cost bridging and routing services that connect
SAN islands across the enterprise. This enables
IT managers to improve the performance and
lower the cost of data protection, replication, SAN
extension and disaster recovery.
The iSR6142 provides SAN connectivity over WANs
•
by routing Fibre Channel over standard Ethernet,
expanding and bridging SANs around the globe.
SAN Over WAN Replication and Data Migration.
The iSR6142 provides SAN
over WAN connection for data replication, migration, and disaster recovery.
The iSR6142 features SmartWrite, QLogic’s patent-pending technology
for accelerating replication over iSCSI, based on QLogic’s unique Layer 3
SCSI routing capabilities. SmartWrite optimizes key data management and
migration operations by increasing the amount of data within a packet and
by reducing the total transfer time across the WAN. The iSR6142 sets a new
price performance mark in the industry for SAN over WAN connection.
Key Advantages of the iSR6142
:
Lower WAN costs with SmartWrite
•
Improved ROI by sharing SAN resources globally
•
Improved data transfer performance
•
Leading Applications for the iSR6142:
Disaster recovery for business continuance
•
Data migration for applications
•
Replication of data for backup
•
Shared SAN devices to improve utilization
•
Connected SAN islands over WANS and LANs
•
SAN Bridging for Improving SAN Utilization and ROI.
The iSR6142 is the
ideal tool to expand the reach and connectivity of SANs by bridging SAN
fabrics. It enables sharing SAN devices independently across SAN fabrics.
By providing true SAN independence, the iSR6142 improves SAN scalability.
The iSR6142 offers unparalleled ease of integration, based on the same
proven QLogic ASIC technology that powers over 50 million storage products
sold by leading storage vendors. IT managers can now connect SAN devices
across any vendor’s SAN infrastructure, improving utilization and SAN ROI.
