McDATA ULTRANETTM EDGE STORAGE ROUTER 3000 Manuale Utente

McDATA UltraNet Edge 3000 User Guide

The UltraNet Edge 3000 is designed for ease-of-use and is customer 
installable, configurable, and maintainable. The UltraNet 
ConfigManager configuration tool and the UltraNet WebView 
monitoring tool enable easy setup and monitoring capabilities.

The UltraNet Edge 3000 contains an application (FCSW) which acts 
as a Fibre Channel switch and eliminates the need for an external 
Fibre Channel switch. 

The UltraNet Edge 3000 interconnects and extends Fibre Channel 
Storage Area Networks (SANs) using a new or existing Ethernet wide 
area network. The UltraNet Edge 3000 enables the following data 
replication solutions:

•

 — a fault tolerant method in which a backup 

data storage device maintains data identical to that on the 
primary device and replaces the primary if it fails.

•

 — a set of rules and procedures that allow a 

computer site to be put back in operation after a disaster has 
occurred. The concept of moving back-ups off-site constitutes the 
minimum basic precaution for disaster recovery. The remote copy 
is used to recover data when the local storage is inaccessible after 
a disaster.

•

 — the ability to move data from one storage 

subsystem to another.

•

 — supports mass storage 

subsystems for Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage 
Area Networks (SAN) including RAID, CDROM, DVDROM and 
tape devices.

•

 — enables a cost-effective solution to 

distribute data, program updates, etc. to your remote offices or 
business partners, leveraging the IP infrastructure to access 
current information.

•

 — allows current settings of switches 

utilizing an E_port configuration to remain unchanged, 
regardless of distance requirements.

•

 — Allows Disk or Servers to be connected 

either directly or through a Storage Area Network, using an 
existing IP or ATM network, either locally or remotely over 
extended distances.
