AG is supported on the 4Gb Brocade SAN Switch Module for BladeCenter and SAN16B-2:
FOS 5.2.1b or above for SAN Switch Module for BladeCenter FOS 5.3+ for SAN16B-2
Access Gateway feature requires that NPIV (N-port ID virtualization) capability be enabled on the external switches:
Brocade switches running FOS 5.1 with NPIV enabled
McDATA switches running EOS 9.0 with NPIV enabled

M-EOS 9.6 offers NPIV in base code
Cisco switches running OS 3.0 with NPIV enabled
October 2007
33
Typical AG Deployment Scenarios

Use AG Feature only when needed to help overcome an issue. Default mode for switch module should always be FC switch.
When to use AG? Enterprise and large data centers where the fabric size is becoming a burden
Greater than 50 switches in an all b-type (Brocade) fabric
Greater than 30 switches in a fabric that includes m-type (McDATA) products
Connecting BladeCenter or 16B-2 to McDATA or Cisco SAN fabrics

Requires NPIV feature on the external switches
Customers SAN Admin group does not want an embedded switch in server products (i.e. BladeCenter) When NOT to use AG? Connecting SAN targets (such as storage) directly to switch module Environments where customers require switch features not supported by AG

IBM SAN vs EMC SAN

Not All Ports are Created Equal
When bidding against EMC and MDS make sure the customer knows: 1. With EMC-MDS, you can have 4Gb ports or you can have 528 ports, but you cant have both
The MDS is a 132 port dedicated 4Gb director Only 48Gbs bandwidth per director slot vs Brocades 64Gbs MDS has no local switching; all traffic must pass through crossbar If you want guaranteed 4Gb on a 24 or 48 card, other ports turn off by default
2.
On EMC-MDS, there is a 252 port hard limit with any 1st gen linecards
Any 2Gb, FCIP, iSCSI, SSM (SANtap, FastWrite) cards make 9513 have 252 max Linecards that take port total over 252 will not power on EMC using Invista and RecoverPoint mean that customer loses ports in their director
3.
Environmentals are poor -- will the EMC MDS fit in the data center?
12 to 16 amps, 2 to 3 kilowatts in large configurations 9513 requires Side-side AND back-back cooling EMC has special extra wide rack Fan tray is one FRU with a single power connector, 170 seconds to replace it

SAN18B-R 2005-R18 SAN Directors 2109-M48 with FC 3450
Value Proposition: Solving for disaster recovery and business continuity, distance replication or SAN Extension involves moving Fibre Channel frames over an IP network. The IBM SAN B-type family of routers utilizes the industry standard FCIP protocol and FC Routing to better manage the IP routing across the link. Specialized management tools are available to optimize bandwidth (FastWrite, Tape Pipelining, Compression and Virtual Tunnels), to better manage lossy networks (Storage Optimized TCP) and provide security (encryption). These enhanced features allow more efficient use of the IP link, so customers can send more data over the link in less time, and optimize their WAN link performance to save money. Telco Services: BROCADEs status as a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) means that BROCADE resells TELCO bandwidth - allowing customers to have one vendor for their complete distance solution. No other SAN vendor can provide this service. BROCADEs telco services enable short term IP links for one-time data migrations, and/or longer term contracts complete with proactive network monitoring capabilities.

Value Proposition: IBM TotalStorage SAN18B-R and the M48 FC Routing Blade allow SAN
consolidation within the data center as expensive resources like a disk array or tape library can be shared among many SANs without joining those SANs. Utilizing these IBM TotalStorage SAN b-type router products enables administrators to maintain separate SANs, like a Brocade and a McDATA SAN, or an IBM and EMC SAN but still share devices between them. Each individual SAN can run in native or open mode (Brocade and McDATA Native modes are supported), and domain IDs can be shared across SANs. These SAN b-type routers ability to provide fault and administration isolation are particularly useful when connecting to remote sites where WAN fluctuations and separate admin groups are common.

Value Proposition: For an end-to-end IBM System Storage solution, disk-to-disk and disk-totape replication over distance is provided by using the IBM SAN256B and/or SAN18B-R products that enable FASTWrite (disk-to-disk) and tape pipelining. BROCADEs extension products are designed for optimum performance over IP networks for IBM Global Mirroring and remote tape vaulting solutions.
SAN18B-R 2005-R18 SAN25B with FC Router Blade 2109-M48 with FC 3450
The FC Routing capabilities of these products allow administrators to maintain separate SANs but still share the remote tape library. Thus providing fault and administration isolation when connecting to the remote site where WAN fluctuations and separate admin groups are common.
In this example the customer may do disk-to-disk Global Mirroring and then backup to the tape library or they may use the tape pipelining feature and backup directly to tape over the IP link.

Value Proposition: High performance links for active / active data center traffic: 190 km at 10
Gb/s, 1100 km at 2 Gb/s, 2200 km at 1 Gb/s. Supports synchronous replication that is ideal for Cascaded GDPS Solutions. With its buffer credit power and unique 10 Gb capability, the SAN256M can drive distances of beyond 190KM at 10Gb/s synchronous speeds over dark fiber. This means that customers can now drive active-active data center strategies, reducing costly capital outlays required to maintain completely redundant hot standby data centers for disaster recovery. IBMs Global and Metro Mirroring is the perfect technology to drive this approach. Remote fabrics come standard with SAN256M Directors.

32Gbps Trunk up to 50Km. 10Gbps Trunk up to 100Km. 4Gbps Trunk up to 250Km.
Value Proposition: When the customer has only 2 or 4Gb/s connections between sites then
BROCADEs ISL Trunking feature provides high performance and resilient links for active / active data center traffic. ISL Trunking takes up to eight 4Gb/s links and creates a logical trunk and may balance traffic at the FC frame level to provide the optimum bandwidth utilization. ISL Trunks also increase availability of the link since any one failure of a member link does not cause data traffic reroutes to occur. Combined with BROCADEs Extended Fabric license, ISL Trunks are supported up to 100km for 10Gb/s trunks and 50km for 32Gb/s trunks. ISL Trunks perfectly complement IBMs Metro Mirroring to build a Cascaded GDPS solution. Note that Fabric OS v5.2 includes the fabric binding capability necessary for FICON cascading. Secure Fabric OS licenses are no longer required.

Value Proposition: This Mainframe distance solution includes the SAN256B with the M48 FC
Routing Blade (FC 3450) and is sold entirely through IBM System Storage. Using the FC over IP capability of the FC Routing Blade, the SAN256B allows XRC solutions that are totally integrated within the directors and can span up to 300km between sites. If the customer prefers not to integrate the FC Routing blade into the SAN256B director then the SAN18B-R FC Router provides the same functionality in a 1 rack unit switch. Additionally, the SAN18B-R FC Router in the recovery site can connect to the director and M48 routing blade in the primary datacenter. This solution may offer the customer a more cost-effective BCDR option. Specialized management tools are available to optimize bandwidth, to better manage lossy networks (Storage Optimized TCP) and provide security (encryption). These enhanced features allow more efficient use of the IP link, so customers can send more data over the link in less time, and optimize their WAN link performance to save money.

Specialized management tools are available to optimize bandwidth (FastWrite, Tape Pipelining, Compression and Virtual Tunnels), to better manage lossy networks (Storage Optimized TCP) and provide security (encryption). These enhanced features allow more efficient use of the IP link, so customers can send more data over the link in less time, and optimize their WAN link performance to save money. Telco Services: BROCADEs status as a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) means that BROCADE resells TELCO bandwidth - allowing customers to have one vendor for their complete distance solution. No other SAN vendor can provide this service. BROCADEs telco services enable short term IP links for one-time data migrations, and/or longer term contracts complete with proactive network monitoring capabilities.
