All-flash storage environments require a network that is deterministic and easy to manage with low latencies. Today’s storage networks deliver up to 64 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) Fibre Channel speeds with exclusive diagnostic capabilities.
Seamlessly transition to NVMe/FC workloads without hardware upgrades. Supports concurrent use of traditional SCSI-based Fibre Channel and NVMe/FC traffic for easy integration.
Start small and scale as you grow. Concurrently support multiple hosts and operating systems, allowing you to consolidate more information onto fewer storage systems.
