Overview
The IBM TotalStorage® SAN m-type family of products expands with the introduction of new 4 Gbps capable 16-port and 32-port switches, well-suited for building entry-level to enterprise high-performance SAN solutions.

The IBM TotalStorage SAN16M-2 Express Model (part number 202616E) switch is designed to address the needs of entry-level SAN applications, such as simple first-time SAN deployments, and application-specific deployments, in a half-rack width configuration. It starts at a base of eight nonblocking ports that use industry standards-based auto-sensing and auto-rate-negotiation, for 1, 2, and 4 Gbps speeds (4 Gbps speeds require 4 Gbps compatible hardware). The SAN16M-2 Express Model can be upgraded in four-port increments to 12 or 16 ports, and offers an optional, second power supply for those environments that require higher levels of redundancy. Improved installation and configuration wizards also help provide greater ease-of-use.

The IBM TotalStorage SAN32M-2 Express Model (part number 202632E) switch is designed to address the needs of mid-range SAN applications, and provide low total cost of ownership. Starting at a base of 16 nonblocking ports, it provides nondisruptive upgrade in eight-port increments to 24 or 32 ports. The SAN32M-2 Express Model supports auto-sensing and auto-rate-negotiation at 1, 2, and 4 Gbps to help protect existing SAN investments (4 Gbps speeds require 4 Gbps compatible hardware).

Key prerequisites
The IBM TotalStorage SAN m-type family supports Fibre Channel and FICON connectivity for servers and storage. For a complete list, refer to the Supported Servers and Storage Systems topic in the Description section.
