AM867C Use Case
High-Performance Database Consolidation in Financial Services
In a global trading firm running dozens of Oracle and SQL Server instances, the AM867C-HP 8/8-port SAN Switch aggregates storage traffic over 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel links, delivering sub-2 µs latency under peak loads. The result is simplified LUN zoning, 40 % faster transaction processing and 99.99 % uptime—enabling real-time risk analysis and regulatory compliance with minimal hardware footprint.
Scalable Virtual Desktop Infrastructure for Healthcare
A midsize hospital deploys the AM867C-HP 8/8-port SAN Switch to connect hyper-converged nodes and shared SAN storage for 500 Citrix virtual desktops. The switch’s hot-swappable ports and end-to-end QoS ensure consistent IOPS for PACS imaging and EHR workflows, cutting login times by 50 % and meeting HIPAA performance mandates while reducing rack space by 30 %.
Resilient Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity for E-Commerce
An online retailer implements a dual-site DR solution using two AM867C-HP 8/8-port SAN Switches linked via Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP). Automated path failover and dynamic buffer credits maintain synchronous data replication between primary and DR arrays. This architecture delivers RPO near zero, RTO under 15 minutes and protects peak-season revenue against network or array failures.
