2-24 UltraNet Edge Storage Router 3000 Version 3.2 Release Notes
Supported Compatibility with the Brocade Multiprotocol
Router
The UltraNet Edge 3000 3.2 release provides compatibility with the Brocade Multiprotocol Router.
When the Brocade Multiprotocol Router is used in combination with the UltraNet Edge 3000, it
allows disk and tape applications to be extended across multiple SANs, regardless of location. This
combination allows logically separated SANs to communicate with each other over any distance at
a very high performance level. The UltraNet Edge 3000 enables the Multiprotocol Router to
communicate across an IP or ATM network. Additionally, it provides disaster recovery capabilities
for your data and a more resilient connection.
The Brocade Multiprotocol Router provides connectivity among devices in different fabrics
without actually merging the fabrics, allowing data to flow across it while controlling the visibility
of devices behind it.
Note: Refer to the Brocade XPath OS Procedures Guide for more detailed information
about the Brocade Multiprotocol Router.
