i-8100A - Inter-Fabric-Routing Gateway

 

The i-8100A Interconnects Remote SANs and LANs Over Routed IP Networks

i-8100A Deployment Diagram

  • i-8100A has eight ports: Layer 2 Ethernet/GbE, FC, IP/GbE predefined per customer request and deployment objectives.
  • Embedded AR/DAT engine interconnects remote SANs without actually merging them - creating non-disruptive SANs which can share devices in a secure way.
  • Supports interoperability in all standard modes of major FC switch vendors (Brocade, McDATA, Cisco, etc.), as well as proprietary/native modes.
  • Supports local switching, direct device attachment and all mandatory and extended FC services (including zoning).
  • Engineered for Long Distance - transferring FC and Layer 2 Ethernet over IP, for distances of thousands of kilometers, without performance degradation and with data and order delivery guaranteed.
  • Includes traffic shaping mechanisms such as Manual Rate Limitation and Congestion Avoidance, to allow maintaining of maximal possible performance in shared or low bandwidth IP WAN environments.
