SANtegrity™ Enhanced (Security
Suite) feature is designed to help
enhance business continuity by reduc-
ing the impact of human influences on
networked data. The feature includes
SANtegrity Binding and SANtegrity
Authentication.
SANtegrity Zoning, a standard capabil-
ity of Enterprise Operating System
(E/OS), provides hardware-enforced
world wide name (WWN) and port zon-
ing. SANtegrity Secure Management
Zone (SMZ) is designed to secure man-
agement access to local and remote
SAN devices over a secure connection.
SANtegrity Binding is designed to cre-
ate multiple layers of access control,
including port, switch and fabric
binding.
Standards-based SANtegrity
Authentication is designed to force
each device in the SAN to prove who
they are in order to avoid unauthorized
access and unauthenticated devices.
Preferred Path, a standard feature, is
designed to allow a customer to define
routes across a fabric. The Preferred
Path modifies the behavior of Open
Trunking by providing guidance for the
balancing function. The Preferred Path
configuration helps address user prefer-
ence regarding exit port assignment but
is subject to the standard rules regard-
ing the Fabric Shortest Path First
(FSPF) protocol.
Full Volatility feature is designed to
support high-security environments,
which require no customer data be
retained after power-off. Full Volatility is
designed to configure a switch or direc-
tor so that no frame data is stored after
a power-off.
High port density, rack space
savings
Rapidly growing Fibre Channel SAN
infrastructures place a premium on rack
space. The SAN32M-2 Express Model
uses SFP LC optical connectors and
advanced packaging that requires only
one-rack–unit (1U) height for 32 ports.
The SAN32M-2 Express Model is also
tabletop stackable.
