Three New Brocade 8Gb FC Switches for HP
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Fri, June 20th, 2008
And its StorageWorks B-series SAN connection portfolio as well as EVA4400
The new Brocade switches are designed to optimize data centers that plan to implement virtualized servers for consolidation efficiencies by increasing server and storage utilization. With configurations that range from eight to 80 ports, the new fabric switches offer unmatched scalability, delivering full line-rate performance on every port and simplified management for today's virtual environment. In addition, the new products further advance Brocade's energy-efficient capabilities by consuming 40 percent less power per port than previous models.
Brocade also announced the general availability in July of a custom 8 Gb/s embedded SAN switch module for the HP StorageWorks 4400 Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA4400). The EVA4400 supports two embedded switch modules per enclosure, for a total of 20 high-performance FC ports, to offer customers a virtualized, easy-to-support storage area network (SAN) storage solution. The EVA4400 with embedded switches is designed for midsize customers implementing their first SAN.
"Integrating the newest Brocade fabric switches into the HP StorageWorks SAN portfolio enables HP customers to further consolidate servers, storage and the networking infrastructure, simplifying data center connectivity and reducing costs," said Ian Whiting, Vice President and General Manager of the Brocade Data Center Infrastructure Division. "Companies will gain greater performance, scalability and cost savings from their existing data center networking investments, while providing extendable and efficient infrastructure for the data center fabrics of the future."
"Customers are looking for a low-cost, scalable storage infrastructure to support their company growth, and the EVA4400, combined with the HP B-Series SAN portfolio, meets this need," said Bob Wilson, Vice President and General Manager, StorageWorks Storage Platform Division, HP. "These solutions provide customers with high performance, scalability and simplified storage management for today's most demanding storage environments, at an affordable price. This means customers do not need to sacrifice technology investments for their business needs."
