McDATA
launches industry's first backbone director
NEW
DELHI -- McDATA Corp., the leading provider of storage
networking solutions, recently launched Intrepid i10K,
the industry's first backbone director designed for
the heart of the global enterprise data center (GEDC).
The Intrepid i10K supports dynamic network partitioning
and offers an end-to-end partitioning solution from
application to array, allowing data to be independently
managed, controlled, protected and moved to meet application
demands. In addition, the Intrepid i10K enables secure
SAN island and large fabric consolidation, significantly
lowering the total cost of ownership and offering secure,
carrier-class availability for the backbone of enterprise.
The
Intrepid i10K enables a tiered storage networking strategy,
where a customer's infrastructure is matched with his
tiered storage environment allowing for cost-effective
deployment of information lifecycle management strategies.
A scalable environment, achieved through the Intrepid
i10K, accommodates future technologies such as virtualisation
and maintains simplicity of design, keeping storage
networking costs low and providing an access to information
from any location worldwide.
The
Intrepid i10K drives 10Gbps over dark fiber and up to
190-kms in distance, enabling enterprisewide five-nines
application availability. The Intrepid i10K delivers
value-added routing and storage virtualization services
with its upcoming director service modules. The Intrepid
i10K builds on McDATA's availability heritage by delivering
new software isolation and data integrity enhancements.
Gilbert
Low, country manager, ASEAN and India, McDATA, said:
"There are four key areas that define a backbone
director -- network consolidation, dynamic network partitioning,
10Gbps intelligent network services and carrier-class
availability for the enterprise. Only McDATA's Intrepid
i10K delivers the complete backbone functionality required
by global 500 customers. With the i10K, customers can
cost-effectively implement a tiered, GEDC network --
a network that provides real-time information access
to information anytime, anywhere."
