AgilePorts over DWDM for long distance 40GbE using Smartoptics
Smartoptics has been at the forefront of SAN extension solutions based on embedded xWDM technology since it introduced the worlds first 4G Fibre Channel embedded CWDM networks. Since then it has gone on to further develop 4G CWDM/DWDM, 8G CWDM/DWDM and 16G CWDM/DWDM systems all based on simple and cost effective embedded xWDM technology. During that period, Smartoptics has remained the only vendor to be approved with Brocade and its OEMs for these total solutions. Our latest developments allow 400km point to point 16G Fibre Channel connectivity.
