D A T A S H E E TiSR6142SAN over WAN ConnectivityFeaturesOptimizes SAN over WAN transfer to improve•performance and reduces costs. SmartWrite™helps improve SAN over WAN performance byreducing the latency of WAN transfers. The iSR6142increases productivity by optimizing data transfers,sharing devices, and replicating data.Increases ROI by enabling SANs to grow and scale•independently. Many other SAN extension solutionsmerge SAN fabrics, which limits the number of SANswitches and devices. The iSR6142 removes thelimitations of a single name service.Easy to use and own, with advanced install and•configuration wizards that allow set up in less than15 minutes. The iSR6142 is very power efficient,using only 48W, and helps reduce power andcooling versus competitive productsImproves data protection. The iSR6142, with•Smart Write and FCIP support, has been testedand certified with leading replication and datamanagement applications from EMC, HDS,Symantec/Veritas, IBM, Legato, HP, NetApp, andmany more.BenefitsQLogic’s iSR6142 multi-protocol router provides•low-cost bridging and routing services that connectSAN islands across the enterprise. This enablesIT managers to improve the performance andlower the cost of data protection, replication, SANextension and disaster recovery.The iSR6142 provides SAN connectivity over WANs•by routing Fibre Channel over standard Ethernet,expanding and bridging SANs around the globe.SAN Over WAN Replication and Data Migration. The iSR6142 provides SANover WAN connection for data replication, migration, and disaster recovery.The iSR6142 features SmartWrite, QLogic’s patent-pending technologyfor accelerating replication over iSCSI, based on QLogic’s unique Layer 3SCSI routing capabilities. SmartWrite optimizes key data management andmigration operations by increasing the amount of data within a packet andby reducing the total transfer time across the WAN. The iSR6142 sets a newprice performance mark in the industry for SAN over WAN connection.Key Advantages of the iSR6142:Lower WAN costs with SmartWrite•Improved ROI by sharing SAN resources globally•Improved data transfer performance•Leading Applications for the iSR6142:Disaster recovery for business continuance•Data migration for applications•Replication of data for backup•Shared SAN devices to improve utilization•Connected SAN islands over WANS and LANs•SAN Bridging for Improving SAN Utilization and ROI. The iSR6142 is theideal tool to expand the reach and connectivity of SANs by bridging SANfabrics. It enables sharing SAN devices independently across SAN fabrics.By providing true SAN independence, the iSR6142 improves SAN scalability.The iSR6142 offers unparalleled ease of integration, based on the sameproven QLogic ASIC technology that powers over 50 million storage productssold by leading storage vendors. IT managers can now connect SAN devicesacross any vendor’s SAN infrastructure, improving utilization and SAN ROI.
