The McDATA Eclipse 1620 SAN Router (part number SG-XSWMD1620-12-Z) is a reliable and efficient storage router designed for optimising Storage Area Networks (SAN). The router is equipped to improve connectivity between Fibre Channel SAN environments. With the ability to support up to 16 ports, it provides flexible and scalable options for data centres and enterprise environments managing multiple SAN fabrics.
This router is built with Fibre Channel to IP (FCIP) tunnelling support, enabling long-distance connectivity and data movement between remote sites, which is especially critical for disaster recovery and backup operations. The use of FCIP technology allows enterprises to extend their SANs over IP-based Wide Area Networks (WANs) without sacrificing the high-performance benefits of Fibre Channel.
