Sun Makes Changes to Switch Lineup
(http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,826675,00.asp)
Customers of Sun Microsystems Inc.'s storage hardware now have three new Fibre Channel switching options.
The new switches, all with 2G-bps throughput, are Brocade Communications Systems Inc.'s 8-port SilkWorm 3200, 16-port SilkWorm 3800, and 128-port SilkWorm 12000, officials said
They work with Sun's own midrange hardware—the StorEdge 3900, 6900, T3, and A5200—and with Hitachi Ltd.'s high-end arrays, which Sun resells as the StorEdge 9970 and 9980.
The switches, from San Jose, Calif.-based Brocade, are upgrades to Sun's product line, officials said. Sun, of Palo Alto, Calif., began offering 2G-bps switches initially from QLogic Corp., of Aliso Viejo, Calif., last fall. |
