AJ717A Use Case
Long-Distance SAN Extension for Disaster Recovery
In a multi-site enterprise data center, IT architects deploy the AJ717A-HP 8Gb LW B-series 10 km FC SFP+ to link primary and secondary SAN arrays over dark fiber. This enables synchronous replication of mission-critical databases up to 10 km apart, ensuring sub-2 ms latency, zero data loss RPO, and automated fail-over. Benefit: Achieve business-continuity SLAs with minimal capital expenditure by leveraging existing fiber infrastructure for resilient, low-latency FC storage replication.
High-Performance Computing Cluster Storage Backbone
A research institution’s HPC team integrates AJ717A-HP 8Gb LW B-series 10 km FC SFP+ modules to interconnect compute nodes with a centralized parallel file system across campus labs. This 10 km reach enables consolidated, high-throughput I/O for data-intensive simulations without mid-span amplifiers. Benefit: Deliver sustained 8 Gb/s bandwidth per node, reduce bottlenecks in large-scale workflows, and accelerate time-to-insight for complex modeling projects.
Enterprise Virtualization Storage Consolidation
An enterprise IT department standardizes on HP servers and SAN fabric by installing AJ717A-HP 8Gb LW B-series 10 km FC SFP+ transceivers in BladeSystem Virtual Connect modules. Virtual machines across three co-located halls access a shared Fibre Channel storage array at 10 km distance, simplifying LUN provisioning and live migration. Benefit: Optimize rack space, improve VM density by 30%, and maintain 99.99% storage availability with low-power, long-reach SFP+ interconnects.
