Applications |
Disk
mirroring
Disk SANs employing McDATA Sphereon switches can be
implemented to improve the manageability of local
and remote mirroring systems, keeping online data
better protected and more available.
|
Storage
consolidation
By consolidating storage with a SAN using McDATA
Sphereon switches, you can better manage and protect
all of your business critical information.
|
Disaster
recovery
McDATA Sphereon switches play a critical role in
complete disaster recovery systems, including SANs
for clustering/fail-over, remote data vaulting and
backup and restore functions. |
Backup
and restore
McDATA Sphereon switches are at the center of
storage area networks (SANs) used to enable backup
and restore to be shared across several
applications, reducing costs and simplifying
management. |

Disaster
recovery support
The Sphereon 3232 offers impressive distance
support, providing 20 km (at one gigabit per second
throughput) distance capability often needed for
remote backup and disaster sites.
|
Cost
control
For larger fabrics, the Sphereon 3232 minimizes
costs by avoiding costly ISL links. |
Investment protection
The Sphereon 3232 offers backward and forward

Features |
McDATA’s
SANavigator software
SANavigator® Software is ideal for large fabric
management and offers the Element Manager Plug-in
option for high availability management. |
McData
Flexport Technology
With McDATA Flexport Technology, you can pre-install
connectivity capacity and activate additional ports
non-disruptively as needed through the use of a
software activation key. |
Integrated SANpilot Management
SANpilot™ software provides an easy-to-use, powerful
tool that’s ideal for managing smaller fabrics. It
offers essential switch management features like
zoning, HotCAT code loading and activation, and
multiple switch level and fabric level views. |
HotCode
Activation Technology (HotCAT™)
This feature allows you to continue on-line
operations during switch code updates, which reduces
downtime. |
