Introduction
This whitepaper provides guidance for implementing a DL4000 in fibre channel storage environments. The DL4000
high-capacity edition offers a fibre channel HBA storage option allowing for creation of repositories using fibre
channel storage arrays. Once integrated, the DL4000 protects servers, applications and its data over the LAN in a
highly efficient manner utilizing the AppAssure backup and recovery engine.
The DL4000 can be configured in many fibre channel switch and storage array environments that include Compellent
and MD3600f storage arrays and Brocade switches that are supported by Dell. In this white paper, a pair of Brocade
6505 switches and a Dell PowerVault MD3600f storage array is used as an example. The steps and examples for fibre
channel integration apply to the DL4X00 family of appliances as well.
