Three Challenges of Contemporary Datacenters |
| |
|
Heavy Workloads
With the growth of data, storage and data access has become more demanding, requiring higher data capacity, long distance transmission and fast response time, while providing high reliability and data backup. |
| |
|
|
|
Latency
When it comes to storage, a couple of milliseconds of latency has always mattered, but in contemporary storage environments, even microsecond latency can negatively influence mission-critical applications. |
| |
|
|
|
High Costs
It’s rather difficult for enterprises to expand IT services while maintaining low infrastructure and service costs. Increasing pressure of evolving IT environments in both technology and application delivery make it essential to choose storage infrastructure maximizing the potential and ROI. |

| |
Compared to 16Gb FC connectivity standard, 32Gb Fibre Channel offers the following benefits:
| • |
Significantly higher performance to satisfy evolving business demands |
| • |
Simplified management to reduce efforts of IT administrators |
| • |
Easy integration with the existing storage system |
| • |
Future-proof: expandable up to 128Gb FC data environment for facilitating network growth |
| • |
Power saving: more throughput per Watt of power consumed |
|
| |

Recommended Applications
With 32Gb FC empowered datacenters, you can provide reliable and fast infrastructure for many mission critical services:
|
 |
| |
|
Increase virtual machine (VM) density by allowing storage to host more VMs |
| |
|
 |
| |
|
Reduce time to query for faster business decisions |
| |
|
 |
| |
|
Save costs when migrating from 16Gb FC legacy architecture |
