March 2019 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Smartoptics has been qualified as a Dell EMC Select Partner in the
Dell EMC Partner Program. With this partnership in place, Dell EMC customers can
now order fully approved DWDM solutions for data center interconnect from Dell
EMC. Becoming a Select Partner with Dell EMC is an important element of
Smartoptics’ partnering strategy.
After extensive testing, Smartoptics storage extension products have been
qualified for sales via the Select Program of Dell EMC. The Dell EMC Partner
Program for Select Partners is a resource that makes it easier for Dell EMC
customers to acquire pretested, third-party solutions that can be purchased to
complement any supported Dell EMC hardware.
Dell EMC and Smartoptics can now offer an optimal solution for extending SAN
networks between data centers, using embedded DWDM transceivers that
interconnect DELL EMC Connectrix switches over optical fiber in a cost-efficient
way. The solution, which includes Smartoptics’ open line
systems to extend reach and
provide management and monitoring capabilities, enables a mix of 16/8 Gb FC
channels to be connected over distances up to 150 km.
