Key Features

 

Maximize the Value of SANs

- FCIP Extension of Fibre Channel SANs provides connectivity over longer distances that would otherwise be technologically not possible, impractical, and too expensive with native Fibre Channel or when dark fiber resources are unavailable.

- Achieve bandwidth savings and higher bandwidth utilization via data compression by compressing FC frames before they are encapsulated into FCIP packets.

- Extensive diagnostics, system-monitoring capabilities, and performance monitoring (including extensive and granular TCP statistics graphing in Webtools).

 

Superior Performance

- TCP acceleration helps to overcome latency between source and target locations by adjusting the TCP window size and performing selective acknowledgements.

- Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) techniques can be used to prioritize traffic and guarantee that necessary bandwidth requirements are met.

- Key protocol features are enabled in the FCIP implementation to optimize performance of SAN extension over IP networks, including Storage-Optimized TCP.  

Outstanding Scalability and operational flexibility

- Adaptive Rate Limiting feature meets minimum bandwidth guarantee for each tunnel while allowing full utilization of the available network bandwidth without adverse impact to throughput performance during high traffic loads.

- Optional FCIP Trunking feature allows multiple IP source and destination address pairs (defined as FCIP circuits) to provide high bandwidth FCIP tunnel and failover resiliency.

- Optional FC Routing delivers fabric isolation in conjunction with FCIP, enabling separate fabrics to share devices without merging across the IP network.

Simplified Management

Fabric Vision technology provides a breakthrough hardware and software solution that helps simplify monitoring, maximize network availability, and dramatically reduce costs. Featuring innovative monitoring, management, and diagnostic capabilities, Fabric Vision technology enables administrators to avoid problems before they impact operations, helping their organizations meet SLAs.

 

The HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN2600B supports the following Fabric Vision technology features for storage extension management:

- Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS): Provides a pre-built, policy-based threshold monitoring and alerting tool that proactively monitors storage extension network health based on a comprehensive set of metrics at tunnel, circuit, and QoS layers. Administrators can configure multiple fabrics at one time using pre-defined or customized rules and policies for specific ports or switch elements.

- Fabric Performance Impact (FPI) Monitoring: Uses pre-defined thresholds and alerts in conjunction with MAPS to automatically detect and alert administrators to severe levels of latency and identifies slow drain devices that might impact the network. This feature uses advanced monitoring capabilities and intuitive MAPS dashboard reporting to indicate various latency severity levels, pinpointing exactly which devices are causing or impacted by a bottlenecked port.

- Dashboards: Provides integrated dashboards that display an overall SAN health view, along with details on out-of-range conditions, to help administrators easily identify trends and quickly pinpoint issues occurring on a switch or in a fabric.


 

- Configuration and Operational Monitoring Policy Automation Services Suite (COMPASS): Simplifies deployment, safeguards consistency, and increases operational efficiencies of larger environments with automated switch and fabric configuration services. Administrators can configure a template or adopt an existing configuration as a template and seamlessly scale the configuration across the fabric. In addition, they can ensure settings do not drift over time with COMPASS configuration and policy violation monitoring within dashboards.

- ClearLink Diagnostics: Ensures optical and signal integrity for Fibre Channel optics and cables, simplifying deployment and support of high-performance fabrics. ClearLink Diagnostic Port (D_Port) is an advanced capability of Fibre Channel platforms.

- Flow Vision: Enables administrators to identify, monitor, and analyze specific application flows in order to simplify troubleshooting, maximize performance, avoid congestion, and optimize resources.

- Flow Vision includes:

    • Flow Learning: Enables administrators to non-disruptively discover all flows that go to or come from a specific host port or a storage port, or traverse Inter-Switch Links/Inter-Fabric Links (ISLs/IFLs) or FCIP tunnels to monitor fabric wide application performance. In addition, administrators can discover top and bottom bandwidth-consuming devices and manage capacity planning.
    • Flow Monitor: Provides comprehensive visibility into flows across a storage extension network, including the ability to automatically learn flows and non-disruptively monitor flow performance. Administrators can monitor all flows from a specific storage device that are writing to or reading from a destination storage device/LUNs, or across a storage extension network. Additionally, they can perform LUN-level monitoring of specific frame types to identify resource contention or congestion that is impacting application performance.
    • Flow Generator: Provides a built-in traffic generator for pretesting and validating storage extension infrastructure including route verification, QoS zone setup, extension trunking configuration, WAN access, IPsec policy setting, and integrity of optics, cables, and ports-for robustness before deploying applications.

- Forward Error Correction (FEC): Enables recovery from bit errors in Fibre Channel ISLs, enhancing transmission reliability and performance.

- Credit Loss Recovery: Helps overcome performance degradation and congestion due to buffer credit loss in Fibre Channel links.


Hardware Based Compression

Hardware-based compression delivers the ability to maximize throughput over lower bandwidth links in the wide area network, optimizing the cost efficiencies of FCIP. The HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN2600B Provides multiple modes to optimize compression ratios for various throughput requirements.


IPSec

The HPE Storage SAN Extension Switch B-series SN2600B IPSec function is capable of supporting both Ipv4 and Ipv6, mix of secure and non-secure tunnels on the same GE port, jumbo frames, and VLAN tagged connections.

Extension Trunking

Extension Trunking: Combines multiple WAN connections into a single, logical, high-bandwidth trunk, providing active load balancing and network resilience to protect against WAN link failures.


 

Integrated Routing (FCR)

Integrated Routing (FCR) is an optional licensed feature that leverages the latest ASIC technology to provide Fibre Channel routing on a per-port basis. Because a Fibre Channel E_Port can be made into an EX_Port, data can be communicated between fabrics while maintaining remote fabric isolation. Integrated Routing (FCR) eliminates the need for a dedicated router or consumption of chassis slots with special routing blades-thereby reducing cost, complexity, and management overhead.
