400G Solution Brief Summary
Smartoptics Brocade Alliance
Complete end-to-end solutions for FC SAN connectivity layer 1 tested by Brocade.
Smartoptics is the only vendor whose complete end-to-end solutions are layer 1 tested by Brocade. Not just transceivers or multiplexers, but systems that allow intelligent long-distance connectivity based on embedded WDM principles without the need for stand-alone DWDM platforms.
With Smartoptics’ embedded solutions, Brocade users with mission-critical workloads such as banks, retailers and government agencies can connect as many SAN & WAN Internet switch links (ISLs) as required, regardless of speed, over a dark fibre network.
Four reasons to choose Smartoptics for your Brocade DCI
Certified
Uniquely certified optical solutions
Low latency
The lowest latency and smallest footprint
Easy
Streamlined troubleshooting out-of-the box
Full Support
Support for FC and Ethernet in the same solution
Brocade tested products that include a selection of our 16G and 32G transceivers, multiplexers, and active open-line systems, which address dispersion and amplification and allow for smart, long-distance connectivity based on embedded DWDM principles. Using the Smartoptics DCP-M solution, customers can expect ranges of up to the typical 80 km for both 16G and 32G FC.
Unlike previous switch generations, Brocade Gen 7 requires secure optics functionality, meaning only certified transceivers can be used with Brocade Gen 7 switches. Non-approved, third-party optics may not even be recognised when inserted. The Smartoptics 16G and 32G FC transceivers are the only certified DWDM optics to be used with Brocade Gen 7. The Smartoptics solutions also fully support the powerful diagnostics, troubleshooting, and loopback features that come with Gen 7, which are directly out of the box and without any manual configuration needed.
