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.
Another key feature of the McDATA Eclipse 1620 SAN Router is its support for advanced data routing, which ensures that storage traffic is efficiently routed between different devices without congestion or loss of performance. Furthermore, it has robust interoperability with a variety of other SAN technologies, meaning it can easily integrate into existing network infrastructures.
The router also comes with secure fabric services, ensuring that data and connections remain safe during transmissions. The compact form factor of the Eclipse 1620 makes it suitable for environments with space constraints, while its hot-swappable components allow for easy maintenance and upgrades without disrupting network operations. Additionally, the McDATA Eclipse 1620 supports high availability, providing redundant features like power supplies and failover support to maintain uninterrupted operation.
