1. Summary
This
product bulletin is to update the field about the release of the new Brocade
7500 switch. This switch is now available in the NetApp Price Book and
Customer Edge tool.
2.
What’s New
This
product bulletin informs the field about the availability to source the
Brocade 7500 product from Network Appliance. The switch has been supported for
some time, but is now available in the NetApp Price Book and CE tool. This
enables the field to offer complete NetApp/Brocade solutions, sourcing the
entire SAN solution through the NetApp team. This marks a large step forward
in expanding the NetApp and Brocade partnership and demonstrates the
commitment to offering our customers a complete portfolio of products to meet
all of their SAN needs.
The
7500 switch combines FC routing, Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP).
and FC switching capabilities into a single platform. The 7500 is
a single-box enclosure of the FR4-18i blade for the 48000 director, which is
also available from NetApp. The 7500 can be positioned as a product to help
customer bridge SAN fabrics together without having to “merge” the fabrics. It
can also allow long-distance extension and connectivity by integrating FC
over IP capabilities. As companies continue to expand their geographical
presence, these capabilities become paramount to an integrated SAN solution.
The
7500 combines the industry’s first 4Gbit/sec Fibre Channel routing capability
with powerful hardware-assisted traffic forwarding for FCIP. The switch
features 16 Fibre Channel ports and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports, delivering
high performance to run storage applications at line-rate speed with either
protocol. By integrating these services in a single platform, the 7500 offers
a wide range of benefits for inter-SAN connectivity, including long-distance
SAN extension, greater resource sharing (either locally or across
geographical areas), and simplified management.
