Can you say " SQUEEZE!" The new line, dubbed the ES-4000 series, are being touted by McData (www.mcdata.com) as the first generation of devices capable of managing the huge volume of information that companies will be transmitting over fibre channel networks. The new switches will begin shipping in the fourth quarter this year, according to Peter Dougherty, product marketing director at Broomfield, Colo.-based McData. The ES-4000 switches support up to 32 ports and transmit data at 1 gigabyte per second between ports with a latency rate of less than 2 microseconds, he said. Dougherty said the ES-4000 product line will reduce the chance of failure by backing up two active 16-port switches with a third unit. If one switch stops working, the backup is designed to take over immediately. He said the switches will cost more than $4,000 per port, a figure he said exceeds that of some lower-end fibre channel storage switches. He declined to be more specific, though final pricing will be announced within the next few weeks, he said.
