Smartoptics Brocade alliance

We are the only vendor whose complete end-to-end solutions are layer 1 tested by Brocade. Not just transceivers or multiplexers, but systems that allow intelligent long distance connectivity based on embedded CWDM/DWDM principles, without the need for expensive and complex stand-alone DWDM platforms. With Smartoptics embedded solutions Brocade users can connect as many SAN & WAN Internet switch links (ISLs) as required, independent of speed over a dark fiber network

M-Series, the world’s first intelligent distance extending DWDM multiplexer platform, monitors each wavelength and detects if there’s a service interruption. It can simultaneously transport SAN and IP signals up to 500 kilometers between sites. M-Series can also be used as a passive multiplexer with management.

“Smartoptics and their M-Series is the technology partner of choice for Brocade. To us the choice was obvious.”
– Jan Svarrer Sølvsten, Senior SAN Architect, NNIT.

By using Smartoptics solutions with Brocade, you get the simplicity of an Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) approach, with the density of a complex telecom grade DWDM system. A user-friendly platform in the smallest footprint possible for all today’s data protocols. And the ultimate green data center networking solutions.

Together Smartoptics and Brocade provide best in class one-stop solutions for data and transport, making sure you get the most out of your systems budget. That quality is ensured from network design to overall maintenance.
