Windows Snap Bundle Promotion

Windows Snap Bundles provide aggressive pricing on key value added software options for the Windows application market.   With FAS270c Entry SAN Bundles, special pricing is provided on SnapRestore and SnapManager Exchange, SQL Server, and Notes products.

 

Brocade Value Line VL2 Switches

The FAS270c Entry SAN Bundles are configured with Brocade Value Line VL2 switches, intended to address low end FC SAN market requirements. In particular, these switches are price and feature optimized for low end FC SAN deployments.   In comparison to the current Brocade's Enterprise switches, the Value Line VL2 switches configured in FAS270c Entry SAN Bundles are distinct in these ways:

·        configurable only in a two switch fabric (ie, fabric cannot be extended beyond a two switch fabric or integrated into an existing SAN fabric)

·        supported Fabric Services software: Web Tools and Advanced Zoning

·        each switch includes one (1) power supply/fan

Brocade Value Line switches are fully field upgradeable to full fabric-capable Enterprise switches by purchase of additional hardware options and software licenses.
