The IBM TotalStorage® SAN32M-2 fab-
ric switch is designed specifically to
address the needs of medium-sized
and enterprise SAN environments. It
can be used to create a wide range of
high performance SAN solutions, from
simple single-switch configurations to
larger multi-switch configurations which
support fabric connectivity and
advanced business continuity
capabilities. Infrastructure simplification
solutions for IBM _`® xSeries®,
iSeries™, pSeries® and zSeries®
servers include storage consolidation
and high-availability server clustering
with IBM TotalStorage disk storage
arrays. Business continuity solutions
include data protection with
IBM TotalStorage tape libraries and
devices, and IBM Tivoli® Storage
Manager data protection software.
A single SAN32M-2 switch can serve
as the cornerstone of a Storage Area
Network for those who want the bene-
fits of storage consolidation and are just
beginning to implement Fibre Channel
storage systems. Such an entry-level
