Intelligent Storage Networks

In a data driven world, SAN interconnectivity between SANs across locations is key. Lightsand’s connectivity solutions address the growing need for reliable, high speed and secure SAN interconnections across metropolitan and wide area networks (MAN/WAN).

Network Interconnectivity

One of Lightsand’s key features is the ability to route Fibre Channel (FC) and FICON data alongside Ethernet Layer 2 traffic over a single MAN/WAN link. This allows businesses to simplify operations by consolidating multiple data types into a single network, reducing complexity and increasing network efficiency.

Protecting Critical Data

Data protection is at the core of Lightsand’s solutions. Our technology transmits data fast and protects sensitive data from breaches. Lightsand’s products keep data integrity and confidentiality while enabling communication between remote SAN locations.

Optimizing Network and Reducing TCO

By optimizing data flow and utilising network resources Lightsand reduces latency and improves performance. Our technology also reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by consolidating data transmission and optimising existing infrastructure, so organisations can reinvest savings elsewhere.

Elevating Storage Area Network Interconnectivity

In a changing data management world Lightsand’s i-SWAN 3.0 architecture is the solution for High Availability (HA). This new architecture takes remote SAN connectivity to the cloud, giving organizations visibility and control of their data and next-generation disaster recovery and high-volume replication. Lightsand’s approach to advanced silicon hardware design, software engineering and SAN connectivity has put us at the top of the game. From speeding up data processing to transforming network infrastructure our commitment to innovation and efficiency will continue to drive progress in data management and interconnectivity across industries.

Lightsand is the Benchmark for Visibility, Scalability and Reliability

When it comes to storage, organizations need systems that are secure, scalable, and reliable so their critical data is always available no matter what. For decades Fibre Channel (FC) has been the gold standard for storage services, delivering unmatched performance, security and high speed data transfer. As data grows the role of Fibre Channel becomes even more critical, a low latency connection to manage massive amounts of data.

<ul><li>Performance: Fibre Channel is designed for high speed data transfer, up to 128 Gbps. This is critical for large enterprises that manage massive amounts of mission critical data every day, every second.</li><li>Reliability: Downtime is not an option in business today. Fibre Channel 99.99999% availability means your data storage systems are always online and available even under heavy load or when things go wrong.</li><li>Security: Data breaches are a growing problem for companies, especially when handling customer and business sensitive data. Fibre Channel is end to end secure, one of the most secure ways to move data between storage systems and servers.</li></ul>

Why Fibre Channel is the Gold Standard

Lightsand: Adding Visibility, Scalability and Reliability to Fibre Channel

While Fibre Channel is great on its own, Lightsand takes it to the next level with unmatched visibility, scalability and reliability. Here’s how: <ul><li>Unmatched Visibility: In storage systems, being able to see and manage every part of the data pipe is critical. Lightsand brings real time visibility to Fibre Channel networks with OASIS Monitor system, so IT teams can see performance, detect issues and ensure data flows seamlessly across all channels and networks.</li></ul> For example, organisations using Lightsand’s solutions can see network bottlenecks, proactively fix potential failures and optimise resource usage all through intuitive dashboards and detailed analytics. This level of visibility means enterprises always have visibility into their data systems and reduce downtime and increase operational efficiency. <ul><li>Unmatched Scalability: As businesses grow so does their data storage requirements. The challenge is to scale storage extension infrastructure without compromising performance or security. Lightsand’s Fibre Channel Gen3 extension solutions scale seamlessly so organisations can easily add more capacity on-demand.</li></ul> Lightsand is&nbsp;designed to scale with the demands of modern business, so it is perfect for organizations expanding their data center or adding more remote locations. Whether it’s adding more storage units or integrating new technologies like cloud storage, Lightsand makes Fibre Channel extension scaling easy. <ul><li>Rock Solid Reliability: When enterprises use Fibre Channel for mission critical operations reliability is not negotiable. Lightsand ensures uptime by providing internal failover systems, redundancy mechanisms and advanced recovery capabilities. If one part of the system fails Lightsand’s technology will shift the load to the alternative systems so data is always available.</li></ul> This level of reliability is critical for industries that require continuous access to data, such as finance, healthcare, and telecommunications. Lightsand’s reputation for delivering solid, reliable storage extension solutions makes it the go-to partner for enterprises where data is the lifeblood of the business.

Lightsand is the Standard

As enterprise storage requirements grow, the importance of Fibre Channel can’t be overstated. It provides the performance, security, and reliability businesses need today. By adding unmatched visibility, scalability, and reliability to this technology, Lightsand means enterprises can meet their storage connectivity across any distance needs now and into the future. Whatever you need to do with storage extension, Lightsand makes Fibre Channel better. Period.&nbsp; Gold standard for enterprise storage. Today.
