Features:
° Supports uplink rates of OC12/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16, GFP/VCAT (VC-4/STS-1 granularity)
° Supports multiplexing of up to 4 services of 1/2G FC, up to 4 services of GbE and 8 optional ESCON ports over 2.5G uplink.
° Uplinks use the next generation GFP/VCAT/LCAS standard mapping over SONET/SDH.
° Utilizes Buffer to Buffer credit mechanism to avoid FC throughput degradation over distance
° Redundant power and uplink for carrier grade reliability
° Supports protection, 1+1 optional SONET/SDH protection
° Remote management via in band or out band access.
° FC/GbE/Escon native fault management and performance monitoring
° SONET/SDH fault management and performance monitoring
° Simple installation, operation and maintenance
° Friendly web GUI and support for SNMP management interface
Suitable applications:
° Storage or data services provided by carriers.
° Interconnection of SAN islands over existing SONET/SDH infrastructure.
° High FC throughput over long distances – 1600Km at up to 2G FC
° Interconnection between remote data LANs over the SONET/SDH infrastructure.
° High speed (up to 2.5 Gbps) synchronous or asynchronous backup, mirroring and simultaneous data replication for multiple applications
° Multiplexing of data and storage over a single wavelength and DWDM networks
