SR6200 Fabric Routing Platform.
The QLogic iSR6200, based on our TrueFlex
architecture, is an intelligent, HA fabric routing and application hosting
platform that enables fabric services, including multi-protocol routing, SAN-
over-WAN extension, data migration for storage consolidation, multi-protocol
fabric boot services. Its virtual server portability creates a multi-fabric routing
platform with support for all leading storage and network applications. The
iSR6200 has a unique, dual-blade, HA architecture that has the best price,
performance, and flexibility available for hosting fabric services. Each router
blade has a base configuration of two 8Gb Fibre Channel ports and two 1Gb
iSCSI ports. Each blade has an expansion slot that supports two additional
ports of either 1Gb iSCSI, 10Gb iSCSI, or 8Gb FC. The iSR6200 will also
support emerging protocols, such as InfiniBand, SAS and FCoE.

Multi-protocol Host Connectivity for Fibre Channel Arrays and Devices.
1.
The iSR6200 provides multi-protocol iSCSI connectivity for SAN devices
for better utilization and storage consolidation. By supporting up to 2,048
iSCSI initiators, virtual and physical machines can secure and manage
their own storage partitions, significantly reducing connection costs.

SAN Extension for Business Continuance and Disaster Recovery.
2.
The
iSR6200 features SmartWrite™ II, QLogic’s patent-pending second-
generation technology for accelerating replication over iSCSI. SmartWrite
optimizes key data management and migration operations, reducing the
total transfer time across the WAN.

The iSR6200
simplifies the management of data storage assets for redeployment or
retirement. It enables IT managers to quickly, safely, and economically
move data at the block level to bring new arrays into service and move
aging data to older systems.
