2 Storage Connectivity Challenges TODAY S CHALLENGES Isolated SAN Islands - Capacity in the wrong place Cable management complexity Dedicated HBAs for Tape Multi-site fabrics Stranded servers on Ethernet 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 3 Enabling Intelligent Storage Connectivity Brocade Multiprotocol Router TODAY S CHALLENGES Isolated SAN Islands - Capacity in the wrong place Cable management complexity Dedicated HBAs for Tape Multi-site fabrics Stranded servers on Ethernet SOLUTIONS FC - FC Routing - Connect islands - Wire once - Keep fabrics independent - Non disruptive - Compatible with what you have - Managed by Zones - Highly Available links iscsi - FC Routing - Connect low-cost servers to managed FC storage SAN - SAN using FCIP - Connect fabrics over distance - Merged or separate fabrics 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved

3 Increasing Connectivity and Intelligence Remote Tape Libray Fabric Applications Remote iscsi FCIP FC Multiprotocol Routing FC SAN Connectivity 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 5 End Users Pain Points Problem Framework Corporations business models affect how infrastructure is built-out Project model: new application as CRM, Business Process Optimization, etc. Infrastructure model: high-end customers look ahead when they build out Project-based purchasing generally results in multiple SAN islands What does FC Router bring to this problem space? Scalability Multiprotocol, hierarchical connectivity Routing reduces the capital and operational pains Overcomes technical and political limitations that burden the storage administrator Delivers both connectivity AND separation, integrates seamlessly into environment Ease of use 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved

4 FC Routing Enables Logical SANs LSANs SAN Fabric A LSAN 1 SAN Fabric B LSAN 2 Optimize resource utilization: - Consolidate resources from separate SAN islands Scale SANs: - Minimize risk and complexity of large fabrics - Right-size SANs based on application and business constraints Improve management, fault isolation, and stability Protect and extend investments (LSANs require no changes to existing switches or edge devices) SAN Fabric C 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 7 Router Hardware Details 16-Port SilkWorm Multiprotocol Router 8-Port base configuration with 16-port upgrade via optional software key Key Features 16 Multi-Protocol Ports 1/2Gbps Auto-sensing Fibre Channel or 1Gbps Ethernet XPath Architecture with per-port processing and control path Comprehensive FOS interoperability with 60,000 Brocade fabrics Supported SFP s include SWL, LWL, ELWL Management via CLI, API, FM FRU s Dual-redundant Fan Trays Dual-redundant power supplies SFP s No mother-board FRU 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved

5 Use Cases 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 9 A New Market for Extending SANs SAN Connectivity Opportunities are Vast! Data Migration Migration to new 2G storage on 2G SAN from old 1G storage & SAN Data Migration between different vendor SANs: storage network, disk, tape Storage and/or application rebalancing between fabrics Resource Optimization Increased utilization of storage, sharing not possible before Creation of a shared tape service for the enterprise Sharing of distance connectivity resources for DR / backup On-Demand provisioning of inter-san resources Connect stranded Ethernet servers Consolidation Datacenter consolidation, facilitating moving data to new location Tape consolidation of multiple backup activities New SAN designs with central pools and hosts on edge fabrics Isolation Isolation of vendor equipment or business units Moving production data to development / test SAN Test Lab automation, easy selective sharing of resources 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved

6 Heterogeneous SAN Connectivity Simplified scalability of SANs Interconnects islands using routing Connect and organize heterogeneous resources Different vendors Different firmware levels 1Gbits and 2 Gbits Selective sharing or full consolidation Streamlines Data Migration Increase storage utilization Redistribute and share resources 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 11 1G to 2G Fabric Migration Vendor A 1Gbits 2Gbits Technical Advantages No need to merge fabrics No need to resolve technical conflicts Seamlessly connects 2G to 1Gb fabrics Leverage LSAN zoning tools Selectively connect resources Use familiar migration tools Reduces risk of downtime and data loss Increases Capex and Opex efficiencies Savings of >$200K for 3 fabrics Vendor B 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved

7 Infrastructure Migration Vendor A Vendor B Migrate servers, storage and fabrics Connect new fabric seamlessly to old fabric LSANs storage targeted for migration Use familiar tools for data movement No need to orchestrate fabric merge Increased operational savings Time Resources need Increased ROI on infrastructure migration Estimated 30% savings on resources While minimizing risk and downtime!! 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 13 Tape Backup Consolidation Backup SAN SAN 1.. FCIP SAN 8 SAN 7 Centralize tape libraries in one fabric Use router to connect all disk fabrics Backup/restore to/from backup fabric Backup remote offices (FCIP) Reduced management overhead Increased asset utilization Tape libraries and tape drives HBAs, backup servers, media Software licenses Improved quality of backup & restore $500K/yr savings for medium business 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved

8 On-Demand Provisioning Vendor A Vendor C Vendor B Vendor A Simple connectivity between SAN islands Connects heterogeneous resources Vendors Firmware levels Secure and selective sharing Increases operational and capex efficiency Connect On-Demand and instantly Eliminates needs to run cables Eliminates needs to move equipment Increased utilization of resources Uses familiar Brocade management tools Patch Panel on Steroids Design it in Save $3K per cable movement and days of waiting 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 15 Test Lab Automation Unix Windows Connects heterogeneous resources Secure and selective sharing Increases operational efficiency Connect On-Demand and instantly No need to run cables No lengthy patch plans No need to move equipment/re-rack No need to move/configure switches No need to update firmware levels Use a browser! Saves on average 2-4 man days per test Vendor A Vendor B 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved

9 Data Movement Production & Test Production Test Many uses cases such as: Data mining Development with copy of production data Test new configurations, firmware Separate administration No re-cabling facilitates change control Minimize risks Isolate production from development/test More time for development and testing Accelerate time to market or deployment Migration from development to production Lower development/test costs Higher ROI for development/test initiatives 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 17 Distance Connectivity Disaster Recovery IP Cloud Move data between geographies Leverage IP networks Maintain isolation between fabrics Selective and secure sharing Integrated within the Brocade framework Foundation for business continuance Remote replication Backup over IP Simple, cost-effective foundation for utility computing 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved

10 Connect Stranded Servers Fan Out Ethernet iscsi Share FC resources with Ethernet servers iscsi to FC gateway Low-cost connectivity Fan-out to large number of servers Maintain isolation Selective and secure sharing Integrated within the Brocade framework Simple, cost-effective foundation for utility computing FC SANs 2004 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
