X4 - 4Gb Fibre to Fibre Solution

Highest Performance End-to-End Fibre Controllers

The X4 comes in a 3U 16-bay chassis powered by dual 4Gb controllers and (12) 4Gb channels for maximum bandwidth. With extraordinary scalability and high throughput, your demands for capacity and performance can be easily fulfilled. The X4 comes in a backplane-based enclosure with redundant, hot-swappable component pairs. Operation statuses are constantly available via comprehensive interfaces such as LCD screen, firmware utility, or across the network via telnet console and browser. Drive expansion is easily achieved through dual-loop extension to X4 SBODs (JBODs with switching technology) by converting two of the FC channels to drive mode.
