Due to increased business and regulatory requirements, organizations of all sizes regularly need to move, share, and protect their data—but they often face significant challenges in doing so. For instance, smaller organizations might lack the dedicated resources, skills, or budgets for high-end data protection systems and business continuity. Larger enterprises might need to connect multiple remote sites in a robust manner, yet have limited budget to do so. And IP network service providers might need a proven remote connectivity solution that interoperates with existing Storage Area Network (SAN) infrastructures and is simple to deploy and manage.
The Brocade® 7500E Extension Switch, leveraging leading-edge Brocade 7500 technology, provides the performance, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness required to meet these and other business requirements. The Brocade 7500E combines Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) capabilities with fabric isolation for point-to-point connectivity of remote SAN fabrics or Fibre Channel storage over IP Wide Area Networks (WANs) without merging fabrics.
By avoiding fabric merges, the Brocade 7500E provides WAN link and remote SAN fault isolation to increase availability for mission-critical applications and to minimize the impact of network failures. As a result, it is ideal for supporting strategic initiatives for disaster recovery, business continuity, and data migration.
A bundled package, the Brocade 7500E includes two 4 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel ports and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports; redundant power supplies and fans; and advanced functionality to optimize storage application

performance and resiliency across extended distances (see Figures 1 and 2). An easy-to-use GUI simplifies deployment and management, reducing administrative time and costs.
The Brocade 7500E is interoperable with existing Fibre Channel and IP assets, as well as advanced Brocade Fabric OS® (FOS) features such as Virtual Fabrics. A transparent upgrade path to additional ports and advanced functionality provides investment protection, making it an excellent entry-level and/or remote site FCIP solution.
PERFORMANCE-OPTIMIZEDSAN EXTENSION
To deliver high performance, resiliency,and resource optimization, the Brocade 7500E provides the following advancedSAN extension capabilities and features:
• Write acceleration (Fast Write for FCIP) capabilities to significantly improve application response time over distance
• Hardware-based compression to optimize bandwidth utilization and reduce costs
• Storage-optimized TCP for unprecedented network resiliency, even when using sub-optimal WAN links
• Remote SAN connectivity without merging fabrics—providing a more secure and reliable distance-connectivity solution
As a result, the Brocade 7500E helps provide a high-performance point-to-point remote data replication solution over any distance, improving global data mobility for greater operating efficiency.
SIMPLIFIED DEPLOYMENTAND ADMINISTRATION
To help organizations quickly and effectively deploy and manage new remote data replication solutions, the Brocade 7500E includes everything needed for SAN extension, including Fast Write and compression capabilities. In addition, intuitive Web-based management tools streamline deployment and reduce administration time.
Because the Brocade 7500E leveragesthe standard Brocade Fabric OS® (FOS)and Brocade management tools, it provides a consistent, centralized management platform that minimizes training and deployment time while significantly reducing overall costs. And with qualifications by all leading storage vendors, the Brocade 7500E provides a proven, interoperable solution.
COMPLETE INVESTMENTPROTECTION
As data center fabrics evolve to support increased data growth and business continuity requirements, the Brocade 7500E will continue to provide extension capabilities for protecting data between data centers. These capabilities include emerging technologies such as FCoE, where new servers and storage connecting to the data center fabric will be able to leverage extension services to access resources at remote sites.
Moreover, the Brocade 7500E is upgradable to full Brocade 7500 capabilities with a simple software license upgrade for higher scalability and advanced functionality. This “pay-as-you-grow” strategy helps organizations minimize upfront costs and protect future investments as their business needs change.
