failure. Together, these features sup-

port nondisruptive maintenance and

upgrades without loss of data access.

Multiple Directors can be used to create

a scalable enterprise SAN backbone

that supports consolidated storage

management applications such as disk

sharing, tape pooling and enterprise-

wide data sharing.

Industry-standard Fibre Channel

connectivity

The Director provides Fibre Channel

connectivity to servers, storage and

McDATA Fabric Switches:

• IBM ~ zSeries and selected

S/390 servers

• IBM ~ pSeries and selected RS/

6000 servers

• IBM ~ iSeries and selected

AS/400® servers

• IBM ~ xSeries and selected

Netfinity servers

• Other Intel-based servers with

Microsoft™ Windows NT ™ and

Windows/2000®, Netware and Linux

• Selected Sun and HP servers

• IBM TotalStorage™ Enterprise Storage

Server™ (ESS)

• IBM TotalStorage FAStT Storage Servers

• IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Sys-

tem 3590 and Tape Library 3494

• IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Library

3583 and IBM TotalStorage Enterprise

Tape Library 3584

• McDATA Sphereon 4500 and 3232

2 Gbps Fabric Switches

Multiple configuration options

The Director provides a wide range of

configuration options. Universal Port

Module provides four Fibre Channel

ports. Each port delivers 100 or 200 MB/

Enterprise Fabric Connectivity (EFC)

Management software

EFC Management software is designed

to centralize the management of

multiple, distributed Directors in an

enterprise-wide Fibre Channel fabric.

Designed for usability, this flexible

software helps simplify the addition

of managed Directors as the enter-

prise Fibre Channel fabric grows.

Simplified operation of multiple FICON

Directors and Fibre Channel Directors

is provided by this integrated switch

management system. Leveraging Java

technology, operators can use the EFC

Management software remotely from

virtually anywhere on the network.

EFC management provides a scalable,

modular architecture consisting of the

EFC Server PC ,the EFC Management

Software, and the EFC Product Manager

application.

The architecture is implemented through

a multi-tiered client/server networking

model. You can access all management,

monitoring and diagnostic functions by

running the EFC Management client

application on a workstation located

anywhere on the network.

Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Server

The EFC Server PC centralizes man-

agement of multiple Directors in the

fabric and continuously monitors their

operations. The hardware, a PC running

Windows NT, provides two Ethernet LAN

connections—one for a private LAN

that supports communication with the

Directors, and the second for an optional

connection to a corporate intranet for

remote workstation access.

sec, full-duplex data transfer. McDATA

Viper SAN engine ViperASIC

serial

cross bar technology delivers scalable,

64-port nonblocking performance with

up to 12,800 MB/sec full duplex band-

width. Unique McDATA single-stage

switching architecture is designed to

provide consistently low latency across

all ports. Full throughput at extended

distances is supported with longwave

optics, 60 buffer credits for each port

and repeaters.

Other configuration options include

shortwave Universal Port Modules

(transmission distance up to 500 meters)

and longwave Universal Port Modules

(transmission distance up to 20 kilome-

ters at 1Gbps and 10 km at 2Gbps). You

can combine Port Modules for scalabil-

ity from 16 to 64 ports.

1 to 2Gbps Upgrade Options

Investment protection is supported with

1 to 2Gbps Director and Switch Module

field upgrades. Existing 1Gbps Directors

may be upgraded to 2Gbps capa-

bility with 1 to 2Gbps field upgrade

kits. Additionally, existing 1Gbps Fibre

Connectivity Modules (FCM) modules

may be feature converted to 2Gbps UPM

modules in the field. The Director must

be 2Gbps enabled with all 2Gbps UPM

modules to provide 2Gbps switching.

High port density saves rack space

Rapidly growing Fibre Channel SAN

infrastructures place a premium on rack

space. McDATA Intrepid 6064 Director

requires only 9 U of rack space for

64 ports—this is twice the ports in half

the space required by the ED-5000

Director. Port density improvement has

been enabled by the combination of

standard LC small form factor optical

transceivers and serial architecture.
