Significantly Higher SAN Efficiency
The Brocade

iSCSI Gateway enables
cost-effective, easy-to-manage server connec-
tivity to Fibre Channel storage devices—
enabling remote user and interdepartmental
access to these valuable resources. As a
result, even the lowest-cost servers can
connect to existing Storage Area Networks
(SANs) and take advantage of high-performance,
reliable Fibre Channel storage devices.

REDUCED OPERAtiONAl COsts
By extending the benefits of networked
storage to IP-connected servers, the Brocade
iSCSI Gateway helps organizations grow and
consolidate their current Fibre Channel SAN
infrastructures in a simple and cost-effective
manner, thereby reducing operational costs.
storage to IP-connected servers, the Brocade
iSCSI Gateway helps organizations grow and
consolidate their current Fibre Channel SAN
infrastructures in a simple and cost-effective
manner, thereby reducing operational costs.
For instance, attaching IP-connected servers
to new or existing Fibre Channel SANs can
significantly improve resource utilization for
strategic SAN solutions such as backup, data
replication, storage allocation, provisioning,
and disaster recovery. In turn, storage
consolidation and centralized management
enable organizations to manage more
storage and applications with fewer
administrative resources.

The Brocade iSCSI Gateway also enables
rapid deployment with minimal configuration,
supporting easier growth and integration
into existing Fibre Channel SAN environments.
It supports a wide range of native iSCSI
initiators for Windows, AIX, HP-UX, Linux,
NetWare, and Solaris.

The Brocade iSCSI Gateway features a compact
1U half-rack-width design (full-rack-width
design for clustered configurations). Each
device provides two iSCSI ports for connecting
to IP networks supporting iSCSI servers, and
two 2 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel ports for
connecting to Fibre Channel SANs or storage.
By enabling block-based access to business-
critical information, the Brocade iSCSI Gateway
helps organizations rapidly add new servers
and clients to their existing Fibre Channel
SANs as business needs dictate.
