Features
Benefits
Consistent Management Across
Heterogeneous Platforms
•
With a platform-independent GUI, reduces training costs and increases IT productivity
•
Increases the amount of storage an administrator can manage uniformly
Advanced Multilayer Storage Platform
VSANs
•
Provides high availability by maintaining isolation of network services, separating host access from
physical storage
Security
•
Applies extensive security measures at possible points of network attack with RADIUS
authentication, unified users and passwords, Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3
(SNMPv3), VSANs, role-based access control (RBAC), VSAN-based roles, Secure Shell (SSH)
Protocol, Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), FC-SP, IPSec for FCIP and iSCSI, fabric-level
authentication, port security, hardware-enforced zoning, LUN zoning, read-only zones, and ACLs
Intelligent SAN Services
•
Includes access control lists (ACLs) for hardware-based intelligent frame processing, and advanced
traffic-management features such as Fibre Channel Congestion Control and fabric wide quality of
service (QoS) to facilitate migration from SAN islands to multilayer storage networks
Port Channels
•
Ensures that the connectivity remains active in the event of a port, ASIC, or module failure
iSCSI and FCIP
•
Provides multiprotocol access to clients attached either directly through Fibre Channel or by using the
iSCSI protocol over Ethernet for cost-effective connectivity to shared storage pools; FCIP simplifies
virtualization and storage services over extended distances
Sophisticated Diagnostics
•
Provides intelligent diagnostics, protocol decoding, and fabric-analysis tools, as well as integrated
call-home capability for added reliability, faster problem resolution, and reduced service costs
Built-In Device Manager
and Fabric Manager
•
Offers responsive, easy-to-use Java application that helps administrators to perform vital tasks
such as topology discovery, fabric configuration and verification, provisioning, monitoring, and fault
