Traditional FC storage networks suffer from issues such as closed interoperability, limited bandwidth, and high operational costs. Customers seek an IP SAN storage network solution built on the latest technologies to meet zero-loss transmission requirements and further reduce overall construction and operational costs, thereby maximizing economic benefits.
The existing storage network fails to meet the requirements of zero packet loss and low latency, which hinders the full utilization of data center server computing power and creates performance bottlenecks in business operations.
Traditional FC and IB network configurations incur high capital investment costs, with overall construction, operation, and maintenance costs being approximately twice that of Ethernet.
Traditional data centers consist of separate FC storage networks, IB compute networks, and Ethernet business networks, leading to the lack of unified operations and maintenance across these three networks.
The entire network infrastructure can be deployed with features such as PFC and ECN, supporting efficient forwarding of RoCE and RoCEv2 traffic. This meets the requirements of storage applications for zero packet loss, non-blocking, and low-latency performance.
The IP SAN network, built with Ethernet technology, replaces traditional FC SAN networks, including FC switches, network cards, and cables, resulting in an approximate 50% reduction in overall network construction costs.
Implementing unified operation and maintenance management based on Ethernet IP, streamlining the labor-intensive manual processes of onboarding a vast number of data center devices through automation solutions, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.
