The following features are included with the DB730S FC SAN Switch:
Enterprise Bundle
ISL Trunking (TRK): Allows frame-based consolidation of up to 8 inter-switch links (ISLs) into
fault-tolerant and load-balanced trunks with bandwidth of up to 512Gb/s.
Fabric Vision (FV)
Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS): Provides a policy-based, fabric-wide
threshold monitoring and alerting tool.
Flow Vision: Identifies, monitors, and analyzes specific application flows.
VM Insight: Seamlessly monitors health and performance of individual Virtual
Machines (VMs) to quickly identify abnormal VM behavior and enable administrators to
proactively facilitate troubleshooting and fault isolation, helping to ensure performance
and operational stability.
IO Insight: Proactively monitors I/O performance and behavior to gain deep insight into
issues and ensure service levels by non-disruptively and non-intrusively gathering I/O
statistics for storage traffic and applying this information within a policy-based
monitoring and alerting suite to configure thresholds and alarms.
Fabric Performance Impact (FPI) Monitoring: Leverages predefined MAPS policies to
automatically identify and isolate devices that cause network performance issues by
detecting different latency severity levels, and to alert administrators.
Extended Fabric (EF): Extends Fibre Channel SANs beyond 10 km distance limitations for
replication and backup at full bandwidth.
Integrated Routing: The FC-FC routing service provides Fibre Channel routing between two or more
fabrics without merging those fabrics.
