100-652-065 EMC DS-300B 24-Port 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Rack-Mountable 1U Network Switch

EMC DS-300B 100-652-065

EMC's 100-652-065 (EMC DS-300B) is a 8Gb/s Fibre Channel switch that connects servers and storage in enterprise SAN fabrics supporting databases, virtualization clusters and backup environments. This model is part of the Brocade-based B-Series Fibre Channel family and runs Brocade Fabric OS (FOS).

It provides 24 Fibre Channel ports for connecting host bus adapters, storage controllers and inter-switch links. Operating at up to 8Gb/s per port, it delivers the low-latency, lossless transport that block storage needs. Fibre Channel zoning lets administrators isolate storage traffic and control which hosts can see which LUNs. Transceiver speed ratings matter in Fibre Channel, so match optics to your target speed. ISLs connect additional switches when you need more ports. A separate storage fabric means LAN congestion does not affect disk I/O. It is a practical choice for adding ports to an existing fabric or replacing a unit like-for-like. For high availability, many SAN designs use two independent fabrics so that every server and array has redundant paths.

The 1U rack-mountable design makes installation straightforward in its intended location. With zoning, administrators decide exactly which hosts can see which storage targets. Check your storage vendor's support matrix for recommended firmware levels. Good fabric design makes data migration and array expansion much easier. Fibre Channel was designed specifically for storage traffic and delivers consistent, in-order frame delivery. Part number 100-652-065 identifies this exact hardware configuration for straightforward purchasing and asset tracking. Order the 100-652-065 today to add EMC SAN switching to your infrastructure.
