IBM SAN04B-R SAN Fabric Switch

IBM SAN04B-R SAN Fabric Switch

The IBM SAN04B-R SAN Fabric Switch can create a wide range of IBM System Storage mid-range and enterprise Storage Area Network (SAN) infrastructure simplification and business continuity solutions. The IBM System Storage SAN04B-R multiprotocol router is designed to deliver 4, 2 and 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) full-duplex Fibre Channel or 50 Megabit per second Ethernet line rate performance on all ports. Each router FC port auto-negotiates to 4 or 2 or 1 Gbps depending on the speed of the device at the other end of the link. The Ethernet ports enable reliable SAN extension across the Internet, IP-based Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs) through the use of Fast Write, hardware-based compression and storage-optimized protocol enhancements.

The IBM SAN04B-R SAN Fabric Switch uses a variety of SFP transceivers to meet diverse requirements. Standard short wave optical Fibre Channel SFPs are available to connect at distances up to 1500 meters. Long wave optical Fibre Channel SFPs are available to connect at distances of up to 4 km, 10 km or 30 km. Optical SFPs are always used to connect the FC ports to a Fibre Channel fabric, however both optical and copper SFPs are available to connect the Ethernet ports to an Ethernet fabric. The router helps provide full Fibre Channel fabric services with many standard features including WEBTOOLS with Advanced Zoning, FCIP Tunneling Service and Extended Fabric.
