The Celion/McDATA solution proves that it is now possible to transport native Fibre Channel signals over thousands of kilometers without conversion to SONET or Ethernet protocols. Participation in this program qualifies Celion's WAN products for deployment in storage networks that utilize McDATA Intrepid(R)-6000 series Directors and the Sphereon (R) 3232 Fabric Switch. "Interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. between Celion and McDATA delivers a robust and simplified solution to the growing market for long-haul data center connectivity," states Pawan Jaggi, Celion CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "This solution ensures that customers can deploy business continuity solutions independent of distances between data centers." "The innovative ideas from Celion will help enterprise customers deploy their own dense wave division multiplexing (spelling) wave division multiplexing - A common misnomer for wavelength division multiplexing. (DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing ) networks with relative ease," said David Ward David Ward may refer to:
Key benefits of Celion connectivity solutions include: --Economics of Single-Fiber design -- reducing equipment and fiber costs --Auto-Everything operation -- dramatically cutting operational expenses and total cost of ownership --Scalability of capacity -- achieving a negligible cost for migration from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps of capacity --High-performance storage networking -- accomplishing line-rate Fibre Channel and FICON (FIber CONnector) An IBM mainframe channel introduced with its G5 servers in 1998. Based on the Fibre Channel standard, it boosts the transfer rate of ESCON's half-duplex 17MB/sec to a full-duplex 100MB/sec. transport for data centers up to 3000 km (1860 miles) apart Business continuity and disaster recovery are vital for every enterprise and are receiving closer scrutiny from regulatory bodies. An increasing number of enterprises are choosing to deploy multiple sites for production and disaster recovery that are hundreds or thousands of kilometers apart.
