VSG have many years experience implementing storage solutions based around ISCSI and Fibre Channel. VSG partners with the leading storage vendors to meet your requirements whether it is for the latest high speed 8Gbps Fibre channel technology and/or an intermix of Ethernet based ISCSI technology or replication.
 
Viglen solutions are provided by the following storage partners:
Fibre channel solutions include those offered by Cisco, Brocade, Qlogic and Emulex.
 
ISCSI and Ethernet solutions include those offered by Cisco and 3COM.
 
FC to IP Routing solutions nclude those offered by Cisco and Qlogic.  

The Cisco® MDS 9222i Multiservice Modular Switch, the next generation of the highly flexible, industry-leading, proven Cisco MDS 9200 Series Multilayer Switches, is an optimized platform for deploying high-performance Storage Area Network extension solutions, distributed intelligent fabric services, and cost-effective multiprotocol connectivity for both open and mainframe environments.

Key features include:

• Integrated Fibre Channel and IP storage services in an optimized form factor
  Supports 18 4-Gbps Fibre Channel interfaces for high-performance SAN connectivity and 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports for FCIP and iSCSI storage.
• Integrated hardware-based virtual fabric isolation with VSANs and Fibre Channel routing with IVR
  VSANs and IVR enable deployment of large-scale multisite and heterogeneous SAN topologies. Integrated VSANs in port-level hardware allow any port in a system or in a fabric to be partitioned into any VSAN. Integrated IVR provides line-rate routing between any of the ports in a system or in a fabric without the need for external routing appliances.
• Remote SAN extension with high-performance FCIP
  Simplifies data protection and business continuance strategies by enabling backup, remote replication, and other disaster-recovery services over WAN distances using open-standard FCIP tunneling; optimizes WAN resource utilization for backup and replication by enabling hardware-based compression, hardware-based encryption, FCIP Write Acceleration, and FCIP Tape Acceleration; and preserves VSANs, IVR, advanced traffic management, and network security across remote connections.
• Cost-effective iSCSI connectivity to Ethernet-attached servers
  Extends the benefits of Fibre Channel SAN-based storage to Ethernet-attached servers at a lower cost than is possible using Fibre Channel interconnection alone.
