Adaptive Networking
Adaptive Networking (AN) is a family of technologies which allow flexible control of traffic movement
within the fabric which deliver application aware management of fabric resources. Applications may be
used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service. It includes the following features:
Ingress Rate Limiting:
Allows the ingress bandwidth of a port to be throttled to a rate lower than negotiated with the SAN
node. This could be very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of service and enforcing SLAs.
Quality of Service (QoS):
Enables zones with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis. This can
be very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic.
Traffic Isolation Zones:
Defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes. Failover allows a non-preferred path to be used if
the preferred fails. TIZs use failover by default but it can be disabled if traffic should stop if a preferred
path fails. TIZ can be used to manually map out traffic flows within a fabric based on application,
priority, and topology.
Server Application
Optimization
Server Application Optimization (SAO) improves overall application performance for physical servers
and virtual machines. SAO, when deployed with B-Series Fibre Channel HBAs, extends B-Series
Adaptive Networking from the B-series SAN fabric to the server infrastructure. This delivers
application-level, fine-grain Quality of Service (QoS) management to the HBAs and related server
applications.
Solution Requirements:
 SAO requires B-series HBA installed in the server
