About this product

In trying to extend SAN benefits throughout the enterprise, IT managers have realized that many department-sized SANs require connectivity beyond 16 ports. To meet this need, McDATA offers the Sphereon 3232 Switch - the industry's only 2 Gb/s 32-port switch focused on department level connectivity. The Sphereon 3232 Switch provides a larger building block - a better solution than linking multiple 16-port switches. Multiple 16-port switches require multiple inter-switch links, which cause network performance to suffer and increase network management complexity.McDATA's Sphereon 3232 Switch provides IT managers with unprecedented SAN implementation flexibility. Whether you're building a department-sized SAN or aggregating department networks into an enterprise-wide network, the Sphereon 3232 Switch provides the needed versatility. The Sphereon 3232 Switch offers high performance with 2 Gbps non-blocking bandwidth for every port and incorporates several features previously found only in data center-class products. In addition to providing best-in-class availability features, the Sphereon 3232 Switch provides the highest available port density, requiring only 1.5 units (2.63") of vertical rack space. This allows plenty of room for expansion where rack space is at a premium.
