It has short-wave and long-wave capabilities.

In my experience, it is one of the most reliable options in SAN switches. Let´s say that the SAN24 is the perfect combination between two great brands (IBM hardware and Brocade´s software). In my experience, Brocade´s software is the best for SAN implementation; easy to use and intuitive in every aspect. Brocade is always updating its IOS (operating system), adding new functionalities to its switches and correcting minor errors. If you add all these things to IBM hardware and support, you can trust that your SAN is going to have near-zero downtime.

Good performance, suitable for big data, but the response time could be improved

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"In my experience, it is one of the most reliable options in SAN switches."

"Its ease of use, smooth integration into the existing environment, quick and easy management, the number of other features available such as snaps, remote replica, etc are valuable features."

"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."

"This product has good performance."

Cons

"This product can improve in the out-of-the-box features; for example, licensing 16 ports instead of 8."

"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."

"The solution isn’t scalable by itself. It’s a self-contained storage solution, i.e., if you need more space, buy another box."

"The response time for read requests can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The license covers any feature and also, the future features are already included. It is as easy as a 1, 2 and 3."
