Building the Data Center of the Future with IBM Systems Storage,
DCF and IBM System Storage SAN768B Fabric Backbone
IBM & BrocadeA History of Partnership & Success
� 20+ years of FICON Joint Development
� The first SAN company
� Large Portfolio of Patents, Joint and Individual
� Active on all Standards Boards
� 90%+ of all IBM installed ESCON, FICON and Open System gear is Brocade with an IBM logo
� Still >75% of all new ports sold by IBM = Brocade
� Largest R&D budget in Storage Networking
� Especially strong in Asia

Data Center Ethernet and FCoE Explained
• Ethernet enhancements required for I/O convergence– DCE Ethernet layer
• Lossless delivery, service differentiation and advanced congestion management• Backwards compatible with existing Ethernet protocol
– Upper layer protocols• FCoE: FCP directly over Ethernet, using existing FCP services • HPC: Direct compute clustering interfaces (e.g. MPI)• Existing network applications (e.g. TCP, UDP, IP, etc.)

FCoE is the extension of Fibre Channelover a new type of “lossless” Ethernetto drive new levels of server connectivity efficiency
The one thing you need to remember
What is FCoE?Q:
A:
In Short = Extension of Fibre Channel
• Flexible Resource Allocation– Simple deployment, low risk– Non-disruptively add application
services and resources
• Consolidation– Server, storage, and network– Performance and massive scale
• Always On– Non-disruptive upgrades– Data protection

The IBM System Storage SAN768B BackboneThe Backbone of the Data Center Fabric
Introducing the IBM SAN768B Backbone
A Data Center Backbone product that is a new class of network infrastructure that resides at the core of the data center fabric.
Addressing businesses’ urgent needs for more efficient, reliable, and adaptable data centers.
• The Foundation for the Brocade Data Center Fabric (DCF)
• The first in a new class of solutions designed to optimize data center efficiency with minimal disruption
• Allows customers to merge different networks in the data center to improve hardware utilization, simplifymanagement, reduce costs, and support scalable, non-disruptive growth
IBM SAN768B Backbone Overview• Highest performance
– 13 Tbps aggregate in two chassis• 6.5 Tbps single chassis
– 544 Gbps per slot– Local switching– 1 Tbps ICLs
• 896 ports at 8 Gbps– 786 ports end-user ports, 128 ICL ports
• 1/2/4/8/10 Gbps FC and 1/2/4 Gbps FICON• Highly scalable FC routing• Future support for DCE and FCoE• High availability
– Separate control processor and core blades, dual WWN cards
• Adaptive networking: QoS• Application-aware architecture• Efficient power and cooling capacity• Practical cable management
