BROCADE 7800 EXTENSION SWITCH

BROCADE 7800 EXTENSION SWITCHES ACCELERATE AND OPTIMIZE REPLICATION, BACKUP,
AND MIGRATION OVER ANY DISTANCE WITH THE FASTEST, MOST RELIABLE, AND MOST
COST-EFFECTIVE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE.

BROCADE 7800 EXTENSION SWITCH

Brocade 7800 Extension Switches accelerate and
optimize replication, backup, and migration over any
distance with the fastest, most reliable, and most
cost-effective network infrastructure. They combine
class-leading performance and reliability,
“pay-as-you-grow” scalability, and flexible
deployment options to address the most demanding
disaster recovery, compliance, and data mobility
requirements.

The Brocade 7800 leverages cost-effective IP Wide
Area Network (WAN) links to extend open systems
and mainframe storage applications over distances
that would otherwise be impossible, impractical, or
too expensive with standard FC connections. It
maximizes replication, backup, and migration
throughput over distance using advanced Fibre
Channel frame compression, disk and tape protocol
acceleration, and FCIP networking technology.

Up to sixteen 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports and six 1
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports provide unmatched Fibre

and FCIP bandwidth, port density, and

Channel
throughput for maximum application performance
over WAN links. Whether deployed in a data center or
a remote office, the Brocade 7800 enables
replication and backup applications to move more
data faster and further than ever before. The result is
faster, more reliable data replication and backup,
shorter recovery time from outages, and lower
infrastructure and administrative costs.

The Brocade 7800 leverages the core technology of

Brocade systems performing at greater than 99.999
percent uptime in the world’s most demanding data
centers. It combines enterprise-class availability

such as hot-pluggable redundant power

features
supplies and fans with non-disruptive software
upgrades to maximize application uptime and
minimize outages.

With more than 20,000 extension systems deployed
worldwide and 25 years of data center experience,
Brocade continues to
fastest, most flexible, reliable, and cost-effective
network infrastructure to address today’s dynamic
workload requirements and tomorrow’s
next-generation data centers.
