Server Application

Optimization

For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to eight E-ports to

provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 8Gb switch needs its own license. The switch

operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 64 Gb) when routing

connections between switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which

comprise the logical trunk group.

This enabling technology helps administrators monitor and watch specific fabric metrics -- from a SID

(Source ID) to a DID (Destination ID) -- so they can fine-tune and scale the fabric more efficiently. Plus,

Advanced Performance Monitoring includes the ability for early warning detection of hot spots within the

fabric, a powerful tool for maintaining overall balanced performance.

Top Talkers is a component of Advanced Performance Monitoring and tracks the top traffic flows for

hosts and targets for a switch port or a switch. Top Talkers can help identify the ports that need certain

Quality of Service (QoS) attributes or it can help determine portions of the physical topology that need

reconfiguration.

Fabric Watch enables each switch to monitor the SAN for potential faults-and automatically alert network

managers to problems before they become failures. Fabric Watch tracks a variety of SAN fabric

elements, events, and counters. Monitoring fabric-wide events, ports, SFPs, and environmental

parameters permits early fault detection and isolation as well as performance measurement. Each switch

in the SAN needs its own Fabric Watch license.

Extends all of the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre Channel Storage Area

Networks (SANs) beyond the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre Channel standard.

Server Application Optimization (SAO) license improves overall application performance for physical

servers and virtual machines. SAO, when deployed with B-Series Fibre Channel HBAs, extends B-Series

Adaptive Networking from the B-series SAN fabric to the server infrastructure. This delivers application-

level, fine-grain Quality of Service (QoS) management to the HBAs and related server applications.

Solution Requirements:

SAO license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switch

Adaptive Networking (AN) license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switch

SAO requires B-series HBA installed in the server
