Brocade 7800 Extension Switch

The Brocade 7800 SAN Switch combines best-in-class Fibre Channel, FICON, and FCIP performance, “pay-as-you-grow” scalability, and flexible deployment options for remote replication, backup, and migration. Up to sixteen 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports and six 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports provide scalable bandwidth, port density, and throughput, extending and optimizing Storage Area Network (SAN) fabric connectivity over distance to support business continuity and disaster recovery applications.

Highlights include:

  • Maximizes flexibility with an extensible hardware platform and flexible software licensing to support a broad range of SAN extension requirements
  • Offers best-in-class Fibre Channel and FCIP port density, bandwidth, and throughput with up to sixteen 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports and six 1 GbE ports in a 1U space
  • Scales from simple point-to-point up to comprehensive multisite enterprise extension solutions for open systems and mainframe environments
  • Maximizes replication, backup, and migration throughput over distance using advanced Fibre Channel frame compression, disk and tape protocol acceleration, and QoS-aware FCIP networking technology
  • Offers FCIP Trunking and Adaptive Rate Limiting to maximize WAN link utilization and resiliency
  • Enables consolidation while providing traffic isolation in mixed environments with Brocade Virtual Fabrics
