Great for integrating SAN switch with multiple vendor links
What is most valuable?
- It enables us to integrate and load balance between multiple layer one fiber vendor link. Very useful!
- The MDS 9222i VSAN technology allows us to create separate groups for multiple vendor links.
- Less expensive than other multi-protocol routers in the market
- Provides data compression QOS service at layer one which enables us to transfer larger data sets in less time
What needs improvement?
- We had to go through a difficult configuration to integrate it with our IBM Brocade SAN switch.
- I find it difficult to operate and troubleshoot.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
