Fujitsu Asia Unveils SN200 Series of Fibre Channel Switches for ASEAN

Fujitsu Vietnam Limited, 12 Sept 2007 — Designed for customers ranging from small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to large enterprises, the series comprises two products – models 540 and 485 – that duplicate access paths from servers to individual storage devices within a storage area network (SAN), for enhanced system reliability.

Models 540 and 485 also serve as common points of management for consolidated SANs with centralised data backup facilities, thus offering benefits such as:

• minimised operational costs
• reduced data backup times
• simplified disaster recovery regimes
• greater flexibility in server and storage expansion

Model 540, designed for enterprise-class SAN environments, supports a maximum of 256 ports and offers a maximum data throughput of 1,024 gigabits per second (Gbps). In comparison, Model 485 is a mid-range device supporting as many as 32 ports with up to 128Gbps of fibre-channel connectivity.

“With the explosive growth of information in recent years, storage requirements are getting larger and more complex. Therefore, companies need more efficient solutions for managing their networks. The SN200 series of fibre channel switches by Fujitsu Asia represent efficient solutions for meeting end-user needs while offering sufficient headroom for future growth in storage requirements,” said Mr Motohiko Uno, Head of Regional Marketing Group, Fujitsu Asia.

The ETERNUS SN200 models 540 and 485 are available for the ASEAN (including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam) markets with immediate effect. Visit sg.fujitsu.com or call 6512-7555 for more information.
