企業解決方案，帶有16個用于交換和路由的光纖通道端口和2個用于基于IP的SAN和大型機擴展的千兆以太網端口。
1.概述
Brocade 7500集業界領先的光纖通道交換、路由功能和強大的硬件輔助IP光纖通道（FCIP）流量轉發功能于一身。該交換機帶有16個4 Gbit/sec光纖通道端口和2個千兆以太網端口，可提供很高的性能，使存儲應用不論采用哪種協議都可以以線速運行。
通過將這些服務集成到單一平臺中，Brocade 7500可提供廣泛的數據中心連接優勢，其中包括SAN擴展、遠距離擴展、更廣泛的資源共享以及管理的簡化。
通過支持Fast Write、Tape Pipelining功能和業界獨一無二的Brocade FICON加速器，Brocade 7500交換機提供了業界最強大的跨IP WAN的光纖通道和FICON SAN擴展解決方案。這些功能可與Brocade存儲優化的TCP、基于硬件的壓縮、IPSec加密、Committed Rate（承諾速率）、流量隔離、干線合并及網絡負載共享等特性一同提供。因此，它提供了一種高性能、高可靠性、安全的遠距離連接解決方案，幫助實施業務連續性、站點鏡像、復制和跨超遠距離的數據遷移等戰略性計劃。
