Benefits
The traditional approach of segmenting storage and data traffic has certain advantages, such as traffic isolation and
independent administration. Nevertheless, it also poses several disadvantages, including higher infrastructure costs,
complexity of management, and under-utilization of resources. Clients must invest in separate infrastructures for
LAN, SAN, and interprocess communications (IPC) fabrics, including host adapters, cables, switching, routers, and
other device-specific equipment.
The RackSwitch G8264CS is considered particularly suited for these clients:
Clients who want to implement a converged infrastructure with FCoE where the G8264CS acts as a Full
Fabric FC/FCoE switch for the end-to-end FCoE configurations or as a Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF) NPV
Gateway breaking out FC traffic for the native Fibre Channel SAN connectivity.
Clients who are implementing a virtualized environment.
Clients who require investment protection for 40 GbE network connectivity.
Clients who want to reduce TCO and improve performance while maintaining high levels of availability and
security.
Clients who want to avoid or minimize oversubscription, which can result in congestion and loss of
performance.
