Introducing the Connectrix DS-5300B
◆ USB port that provides storage for firmware updates, output of the
supportsave command and storage for configuration uploads and
downloads.
◆ A system motherboard that features a Freescale MPC8548 Reduced
Instruction Set Computer (RISC) CPU running @ 1.3GHz with
integrated peripherals that provides high performance with low
power consumption.
◆ Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking (licensable) allows up to eight
ports (at 1G, 2G, 4G, or 8G speeds) between a pair of switches
combined to form a single, logical ISL with a speed of up to 64
Gbps (128 Gbps full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and
load balancing.
◆ Dynamic Path Selection (DPS), which optimizes fabric-wide
performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to
the most efficient available path in the fabric.
◆ Rack mount designed using existing rail kits (fixed, sliding, and
mid-mount/Telco rail kits) on a 19” EIA rack.
◆ Industry-leading extended distance support, which enables native
Fibre Channel extension greater than (590) km.
◆ Brocade Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) or SFP+ optical
transceivers that support any combination of Short Wavelength
(SWL), Long Wavelength (LWL), or Extended Long Wavelength
(ELWL) optical media among the switch ports.
◆ Unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast data traffic type
support.
◆ The Fabric Operating System (FOS), which delivers distributed
intelligence throughout the network and enables a wide range of
value-added applications including Advanced Web Tools and
Zoning. Optional Fabric Services include: Adaptive Networking
with QoS, Extended Fabrics, Enhanced Group Management, Fabric
Watch, ISL Trunking, Integrated Routing, and End-to-End
Performance Monitoring (APM).
◆ Port-to-port latency minimized to 2100 nanoseconds through the
use of cut-through frame routing at 8Gbps.
◆ Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities for
enhanced high Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)
◆ The EZSwitchSetup wizard that makes SAN configuration a 3-step
point-and-click task.
