EMC / Brocade

Superna team members have long standing relationships with EMC and Brocade on storage interoperability and in the development of solutions and applications that are used to extend storage over distance. The Superna Interoperability Lab has been built over time and includes a solid base of equipment to fully qualify storage over any distance solution and multiple fibre channel interface rates (1,2,4,8,10, 16 G FC) as well as Ethernet transport testing capacity. The SupernaNET portfolio is focused on assisting with optical storage area networking and helping to rapidly root cause replication network issues. Superna is also a developer and a solutions provider for the EMC Ionix software suite. We specialize in the development of northbound adapters to EMC Ionix for network based devices, including optical, carrier VoIP and Ethernet devices.

Superna has a broad partnership with EMC that covers integration testing and qualification and the development of SupernaNET portlets that can be used with EMC products and solutions. Working with EMC eLab, we have built an optical storage networking lab that is used to provide eLab Entrance Criteria validation and verification optical networking solutions with EMC products.

Many organizations are facing a challenge to transparently integrate their optical network devices with their standard enterprise EMS (e.g. EMC Ionix), which are used to monitor enterprise-wide IT events from application to server to storage to the network. SupernaNET includes a complete integration of optical network and optical storage areas network events and alarms for EMC Ionix.

Superna has developed a working partnership with Brocade to undertake Data Center Ready self certification for optical network storage areas networking. This activity closely parallels the work that we do with EMC eLab. We have built capacity in our lab to undertake Fiber Channel testing on Brocade switching fabrics. We plan to exapnd the test environment to include FCoE and FCIP testing capacity in the future.
