Intrepid 6140 Director single component

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 TotalStroage FAStT Storage Servers

• IBM TotalStroage Enterprise Tape Sys-

tem 3590 and Tape Library 3494

• IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Library

3583 and IBM TotalStorage Enterprise

Tape Library 3584

• McDATA 4500 and 3232 2 Gbps Fabric

Switches

Multiple configuration options

The Director provides a wide range of

configuration options. Universal Port

Module (UPM) provides four Fibre

Channel ports. Each port delivers up to

200 MB/sec, full-duplex data transfer.

Enterprise Fabric Connectivity (EFC)

Management software

EFC Management software is

designed to centralize the manage-

ment of multiple, distributed Directors

in an enterprise-wide Fibre Channel

fabric. Designed for usability, this flex-

ible software simplifies 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 in the enterprise.

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 in the enterprise.

Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Server

The EFC Server PC centralizes manage-

ment of multiple Directors in the fabric

and continuously monitors their opera-

tions. The hardware, a laptop 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.

The Server supports continuous Director

monitoring, logging, and alerting; central-

McDATA Viper SAN engine ViperASIC

™ serial cross bar technology delivers

scalable, 140 port nonblocking perfor-

mance with up to 28,000 MB/sec full

duplex bandwidth. 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 1 Gbps and 10 km at 2 Gbps). You

can combine Port Modules for scalabil-

ity from 16 to 140 ports.

Full interoperability with McDATA

Directors and Switches

The Intrepid 6140 Director utilizes

6064 Director switching technology

and firmware. This provides full

interoperability with 2 Gbps McDATA

Intrepid Directors and Sphereon

Switches and prior generation

McDATA Directors and Switches.

Multi-generation switch interoperability

enables a buy-and-grow SAN

implementation strategy.

High port density saves rack space

Rapidly growing Fibre Channel SAN

infrastructures place a premium on rack

space. McDATA Intrepid 6140 Director

requires only 12 U of rack space for

140 ports—this is 64 percent more

ports in same space required by the

Intrepid 6064 Director. Port density

improvement has been enabled by the

combination of use of SFF optical trans-

ceivers, serial architecture and improved

packaging.
