Adaptive Networking
Provides 48 Gbit/sec of data at rest encryption processing power to meet the needs of the most
demanding environments with flexible, on-demand performance.
An ASIC based capability that enables new applications and features. The switch has the ability to "view"
the first 64 bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame Filtering enables advanced capabilities
such as Advanced Zoning and Advanced Performance Monitoring.
WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware that provides the same simple administration
previously enforced only with software. Administrators can organize a physical fabric into logical groups
and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone.
Web Tools is an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface that enables organizations to monitor and
manage 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 Enterprise enables EGM functionality.
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.
