Brand: IBM · SKU: 07K4273 · MPN: 07K4273 · Category: Networking
The IBM Storage Networking SAN42B-R7 is an extension-class SAN switch featuring up to 24 Fibre Channel ports at 64 Gbps. It is designed to bridge the gap between geographically dispersed data centers, enabling fast, continuous, and secure replication of mission-critical data with AES 256-bit hardware encryption to prevent data loss or breaches in-flight across the WAN. The switch optimizes data replication through high-speed connectivity with 64G FC/FICON ports and 100/25/10/1Gb Ethernet/WAN ports, minimizing latency and packet loss over long distances. It protects against WAN link failures with extension trunking and adaptive rate limiting (ARL) with TCP flow optimization to maintain uninterrupted data transfer. The SAN42B-R7 accelerates data movement with high throughput and efficient encapsulation of FCIP and WAN-optimized TCP, reducing transfer times. Security features include a built-in IBM SANnav management portal, SSL certificates, security protocols, and hardware-based IPsec.
