Embedded networking maximizes investments

The ability to synchronously replicate data between data centers is key to the successful implementation of a remote back-up strategy. Today, 32/16/8G Fibre Channel is the traffic protocol of choice for this type of storage area networking (SAN). The certified Smartoptics transceivers support connectivity for:

32G – Fibre Channel, DWDM
16G – single channel, CWDM and DWDM
8G – single channel, CWDM and DWDM

The approval allows all transceivers to be embedded directly into Cisco Fibre Channel switches for simple, cost-effective and scalable networking. Our embedded solutions allow Cisco users to build scalable transmission networks for up to 8 CWDM or 80 DWDM channels over a single dark fiber connection.

The unique approval of Smartoptics embedded transceiver solutions for use with Cisco’s multi-layer fabric switches offers best in class one-stop solutions for data center connectivity, ensuring users get maximum performance and ROI from their systems.
