SAN Bridges
Unifying Storage Networks
In today’s data storage and management crazy world, SAN bridges are the glue that connects different storage technologies, protocols, and the telco world. These clever devices ensure data transfer, performance and data migration across multiple storage systems. Lightsand SAN bridges are particularly powerful at solving the problems of modern data infrastructures, so are a must have for organizations that want to bridge the gap between different storage environments.
Within a Data Center many technologies “speak” different languages compared to the outside world, especially when it comes to storage protocols like Fibre Channel or Ficon.The protocols used in the telecommunications industry are normally not adjusted to meet storage protocol requirements. Each of these worlds has its own “rules” and technologies so it’s essential to use solutions that can bridge the communication gap and enable smooth interconnection.
This is where Lightsand’s SAN Bridges come in. With years of expertise in both storage and telecommunications, Lightsand’s SAN Bridges allows data center technologies that normally only “speak” internally to communicate smoothly with the outside world. For example, they enable you to connect internal storage devices to external networks like MPLS, DWDM, or even the Internet and get reliable integration, allowing multiple Data Center connectivity at any distance.
Lightsand is the solution of choice when others fail, whether due to performance or lack of connectivity options. Lightsand’s SAN Bridges are located at the edge of the Data Center and are the bridge between storage protocols and the various WAN technologies used by telcos. This position simplifies communication and gives you 360° visibility of the entire connectivity landscape to make powerful optimizations and deliver the best solutions in this space.
One key benefit of Lightsand’s SAN Bridges is their ability to maintain performance in tough situations, like Data Center connectivity with thousandths of kilometers. They are the communication hub, optimizing internal resources and transmitting data securely and fast, even over long distances and across different networks.
By providing seamless integration between storage protocols and telecommunications networks Lightsand is the most reliable and powerful solution for companies that need advanced connectivity. Besides solving the communication issue Lightsand’s SAN Bridges also provide the performance and flexibility to meet the demands of a more connected world.
In the ever changing world of data storage Lightsand SAN bridges are the key to interoperability, data migration and performance optimization. As storage technologies evolve these bridges will always be a critical component in ensuring data is available, secure and intact across multiple platforms and protocols. Through innovation Lightsand helps organizations navigate complex storage landscapes and provides the tools to overcome the challenges of modern data environments. Whether it’s bridging different storage protocols or high speed, long distance replication Lightsand bridges give you the flexibility and reliability you need.
