Product Description
Broadcom Brocade 7850 Extension Switch, Securely move more data, faster over distance for continuous data protection
Leverage the benefits of the Brocade 7850 Extension Switch to quickly and efficiently move large amounts of data to ensure critical data is available in the event of a disaster. This switch delivers cyber-resilient replication connectivity for enterprise storage to address the most demanding disaster recovery requirements and improve recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs).
With ample replication performance, up to 100Gb/s over distance, and built-in technology that overcomes the inherent challenges of latency and packet loss over long distance, the Brocade 7850 provides high-speed connectivity between locations to speed up replication performance — even over intercontinental distances. The Brocade 7850 includes a suite of features, from pre-deployment validation to advanced network failure recovery technologies, to protect data from WAN disruptions and outages.
Moreover, data-in-flight security, coupled with the Brocade hardware and software robust security features, secures connections between data centers to safeguard data from threats over the WAN and to protect data from unauthorized access. With twenty-four 64G FC/FICON ports, sixteen 1/10/25GbE interfaces, and two 100GbE interfaces, data centers can achieve the bandwidth, port density, and throughput needed for maximum application performance over virtually any distance across the globe.
