Date Published:

About the White Paper:
How do organizations ensure consistent data protection across multiple sites, eliminate redundant storage investments, and effectively share data center resources regardless of distance? This informative white paper will demonstrate how to eliminate redundant investments by leveraging your FC and IP networks to consolidate storage infrastructures across various locations in your enterprise. It will outline the requirements, benefits and challenges of this consolidation and provide you with the knowledge you need to integrate the latest IP SAN technologies with existing FC SANs, allowing for larger SANs that encompass wide-area distances, and enable high security and availability across multi-protocol networks, including the following key topics which are addressed in detail:
  • Critical requirements for SAN integration with iSCSI, FCIP and iFCP protocols
  • Performance and protocol tuning case studies in high-speed, WAN applications
  • FC-to-IP protocol and design considerations, as well as system-level behaviors
