Used Brocade FA4-18 Application Blade
 Product Description:
The Brocade FA4-18 provides a high-performance platform for
integrated storage applications. It leverages the Brocade
Storage Application Services (SAS) API—an implementation of the
T11 FAIS standard. This Brocade blade has 16 4Gb Fibre Channel
ports and two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
It also delivers intelligence in SANs through
the
Brocade 48000 Director as it performs
fabric-based storage services (includes
online data migration, storage
virtualization, and continuous data
replication and protection).
The FA4-18 contains 16 auto-sensing
1, 2, or
4 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel ports with two
auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbit/sec
Ethernet ports for LAN-based management
Leverages a fully pipelined, multi-CP U RI SC
and memory system, up to 64 Gbit/sec
throughout, and up to 1 million IOPS to
meet the most demanding data center
environments. To provide continuous data protection, the FA4-18
is integrated with EMC RecoverPoint.
It also performs split-path hardware acceleration
using partitioned port processing and
distributed control and data path
processors, enabling wire-speed data
movement without compromising host
application performance. The FA4-18 helps ensure highly reliable storage
solutions through failover-capable
data path processors combined with
the high component redundancy of the
Brocade 48000.
