Overview
Today’s enterprise data centers are undergoing an infrastructure transformation, requiring higher speeds, greater scalability, and higher levels of performance and reliability to better meet the demands of business. As speed and performance needs increase, optical transceivers- once considered a generic component of Fibre Channel switching technologies-have become an integral part of overall system design. However, optical transceiver design margins and parameters vary widely, and can be the difference between an optimized, highly reliable fabric, and incompatibility issues that drive up support costs.
The Brocade 32 Gb/s Long Wavelength (ELWL) 25 km SFP+, part of the Brocade family of small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers, is optimized to fully leverage Brocade 32 Gb/s switch and director products. Brocade ELWL SFPs extend native Fibre Channel connectivity over distance, enabling high-performance disaster recovery and business continuity solutions.
The Brocade ELWL SFPs are the standard choice for use in mainframe environments, connecting to IBM System z channels and FICON devices over distance for business continuity and disaster recovery. Together with Brocade switching products, they provide state-of-the-art performance, helping IT organizations achieve new levels of infrastructure consolidation while expanding the capabilities of their applications and services.
End-to-End Compatibility and Reliability
The Brocade 32 Gb/s ELWL 25 km SFP+ modules support highly reliable operations in data center fabrics and are optimized for Brocade 32 Gb/s switching platforms. They undergo rigorous qualification and certification testing that results in an end-to-end solution that is easier to maintain- helping improve the availability of data center fabrics supporting missioncritical applications.
Family of Optical Transceivers
