Architecture Summary

SANRAD V-Switches with integrated storage management and virtualization services provide easy, robust SAN connectivity and management for any physical or virtual server. Its open, heterogeneous system architecture enables enterprises to leverage existing storage investments and add any vendor’s storage in the future.

SANRAD V-Switches can easily attach to and manage hundreds of servers connected to any iSCSI or Fibre Channel SAN. V-Switches reside between the server network and the storage network. Unlike storage-centric or server-centric solutions, V-Switches deliver intelligence at the network level. This allows companies to gain maximum efficiency and storage utilization, including data backup and replication without taking applications offline.

With iSCSI to Fibre Channel SAN interconnectivity, enterprises can take advantage of the reliability and performance of Fibre Channel SAN along with the simplicity and low cost of iSCSI. Using iSCSI over standard Ethernet networks, SANRAD provides hundreds of servers with storage resources across the organization without the need for extra software or licenses.
