First question on this list ... I'm afraid there will be more !
Quite everything is in the title : with your
user's experience, what is the best choice for
FC switches in pure XSan environment. And is
there real, technical arguments ?
It seems to be clear : it will be QLogic ...
probably 5202 ... or may be 5602 ! Thanks to
your answers !
Two of them will be stacked in server room and
one more will be stacked in a "backup room"
whose distance is about 650 m : can I have
cupper XPAK transceiver for local stacking and
fiber for long distance ?
Yes. You can get a 3 or 8" Cu XPAK for use within a rack (adjoining U's)
You can then go optical (long or short range) to
extend the connection via XPAK optical
transceivers.
And is it standard or QLogic specific ?
XPAK is an industry standard for 10Gig (you will also see it in 10GigE)
I feel stupid ... ;-)
No stupid questions only stupid answers.... ;)
