Enables organizations to monitor and manage single Fibre Channel switches or router in small SAN fabrics.
Tasks can be performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a standard laptop, desktop PC or
workstation from any location within the enterprise.
Enhanced Group Management (EGM) is a FOS license that is included with all B-Series switches and enables
multi-switch operations. It helps automate operations across multiple switches to save time and
streamline repetitive operations, which are typically prone to error. EGM drives consistency across fabrics,
while minimizing the risk associated with potential downtime due to configuration mismatches. EGM
provides streamlined troubleshooting for more effective fabric monitoring and diagnosis.
SAN Network Advisor, Professional, Professional Plus, and Enterprise enable EGM functionality. Customers
have EGM functionality enabled within the hardware product and need only to make the decision around
which management application is right for them - SAN Network Advisor Professional, Professional Plus, or
Enterprise.
FastWrite over FCIP reduces the number of round-trip "waits" for Write I/O to one to mitigate the latency
effect of a long distance FCIP link.
Adaptive Networking (AN) is an optional family of technologies which allow flexible control of traffic
movement within the fabric which deliver application aware management of fabric resources. Applications
may be used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service. It includes the following features:
Ingress Rate Limiting:
Allows the ingress bandwidth of a port to be throttled to a rate lower than negotiated with the SAN node.
This could be very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of service and enforcing SLAs.
Quality of Service (QoS):
Enables zones with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis. This can be
very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic.
Traffic Isolation Zones:
Defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes. Failover allows a non-preferred path to be used if the
preferred fails. TIZs use failover by default but it can be disabled if traffic should stop if a preferred path
fails. TIZ can be used to manually map out traffic flows within a fabric based on application, priority, and
topology.
