For many organizations, the storage infrastructure has evolved into a set of multiple disconnected SAN islands increasing complexity and costs. The HPE StorageWorks B-Series Multi-protocol Router Blade enables organizations to derive more value from the SAN infrastructure by providing the ability to connect SAN islands and share resources, without the risk and complexity of merging them into a single large fabric, both for FCIP and native Fiber Channel connectivity. The resulting modular SAN design provides a more scalable, flexible and stable infrastructure that is not limited by distance, maximizing the business value of the SAN infrastructure.
FCIP Tunneling Service for SAN extension over distance seamlessly and reliably extends HPE B-Series SANs across MAN and WAN IP networks with FCIP, and it is fully integrated with HPE CA solutions for EVA and XP.
