The Brocade 7500 SAN router can help save time and money when moving large amounts of data.
The Brocade 7500 SAN Router is a faster (4 Gb/sec) routing switch that gives scalable Fibre Channel routing services, combined with performance-optimized SAN extension, all managed by familiar Brocade administrative tools, under a unified management platform.
Now you can cost-effectively corral all your SAN data, for backup and DR, quickly and securely, on independent fabrics, local or remote. It is powerful enough to boost high-performance enterprise storage network throughput while significantly cutting costs. And it is affordable enough to bring cost-effective device and data sharing to just two small SANs.
