SAN-XTEND

Computer hardware and computer software for data storage extension, disaster recovery and synchronization backup for both fibre channel over Ethernet deployments Refers to Storage Area Network Extension. - Key technology pillar used in the ASE product. - Refers to the ability of the ASE to provide local flow control acknowledgment messages as defined by the ITU standards committee on ingress interfaces configured for Fibre Channel operation. - This enables connected Fibre Channel interfaces to transmit and process received acknowledgements from the ASE3300 without waiting for the corresponding far-end receive Fibre Channel interface to generate and transmit the acknowledgement message. - This technology allows improved throughput for Fibre Channel as the local acknowledgement messages generated by the ASE33300 are more quickly received (lower latency) than if they were generated by a far-end receiving Fibre Channel interface
