8. Benefits of 8Gb Fiber
• Digital content increases to grow at a rate of 30-40% per year
• New applications and operating systems create increasing amount of
SAN traffic
• Increased headroom for increased levels of data protection and tiered
migration of data
• Specific benefits by vertical markets
 Financial – faster transaction speeds
 Video – support for higher video resolutions and data rates
 Server virtualization pushing more bandwidth down existing SAN
links
– Future proofing of SAN
– 8G Fibre Channel Storage Attached Networks
provide increased headroom for future bandwidth
and growth needs

9. Fiber Channel Evolution
3000 series
FCoE uses Ethernet as
10G
FCoE FCoE
it’s physical transport
Used for ISL and
edge
Roadmap to 100GFCoE!
Inter-Switch Links (ISL)
provide higher core
20GFC bandwidth than its sister edge
FC ISL speed
10GFC
These are used for
ISL’s ONLY
Roadmap to 160GFC ISL!
FC Edge 16GFC
Edge Links are the
2000 series 8GFC predominate SAN inter-
These speeds can also
be used for ISLs 4GFC connect
3000 series
2GFC
Roadmap to 128GFC Edge!
1GFC
‘97 ‘01 ‘05 ‘08 ‘11
FC Edge and FC ISL speeds compatible back and
forward 2 generations with auto-negotiation!

10. Improved Customer Experience
• RAIDar 2.0
 First introduced with the 2xx2 Series products - RAIDar 2.0
 Provisioning and configuration wizards provide step-by-step,
intuitive screens enable users to quickly bring storage online
 A number of unique views provide alerts of important storage
events and warnings
 Users can drill down to understand the health status of a drive,
power supply, controller or any other field replaceable unit
 Details on health status, usage, and manufacturing details are
available
 Ideal for troubleshooting and proactive maintenance
