Alcatel, BT, HP and Brocade successfully established a native SAN connection over a DWDM/SDH network. The link carried synchronous storage data replication services live over a distance of 300 km from Madrid to Albacete in Spain. The transmission used BT’s network, Alcatel’s metro DWDM and SDH systems, Brocade SAN infrastructure and HP StorageWorks storage systems. The companies said that before this test native SAN data could be replicated in a synchronous way over a distance of only about 100 km depending on the network topology.
