Brocade 7800

Brocade 7800 Extension Switches accelerate and optimize replication, backup, and migration over any distance with the fastest, most reliable, and most cost-effective network infrastructure. They combine class-leading performance and reliability, “pay-as-you-grow” scalability, and flexible deployment options to address the most demanding disaster recovery, compliance, and data mobility requirements.
The Brocade 7800 leverages cost-effective IP Wide Area Network (WAN) links to extend open systems and mainframe storage applications over distances that would otherwise be impossible, impractical, or too expensive with standard FC connections. It maximizes replication, backup, and migration throughput over distance using advanced Fibre Channel frame compression, disk and tape protocol acceleration, and FCIP networking technology.
Up to sixteen 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports and six 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports provide unmatched Fibre Channel and FCIP bandwidth, port density, and throughput for maximum application performance over WAN links. Whether deployed in a data center or a remote office, the Brocade 7800 enables replication and backup applications to move more data faster and further than ever before. The result is faster, more reliable data replication and backup, shorter recovery time from outages, and lower infrastructure and administrative costs.
The Brocade 7800 leverages the core technology of Brocade systems performing at greater than 99.999 percent uptime in the world’s most demanding data centers. It combines enterprise-class availability features such as hot-pluggable redundant power supplies and fans with non-disruptive software upgrades to maximize application uptime and minimize outages.
With more than 20,000 extension systems deployed worldwide and 25 years of data center experience, Brocade continues to innovate and develop the fastest, most flexible, reliable, and cost-effective network infrastructure to address today’s dynamic workload requirements and tomorrow’s next-generation data centers.
