McDATA Corporation (Nasdaq: MCDTA/MCDT), announced the release of Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Manager (EFCM) 9.0. This new software provides advanced multi-vendor fabric management, performance monitoring and security features to optimize and protect resources, while reducing administration time and costs.

EFCM 9.0 offers sophisticated management capabilities and scalability for today's heterogeneous, fast growing, multi-site SANs with end-to-end topology visualization from HBA to the storage array, including switches, routers and extension devices. Its support for a tiered 'manager of managers' deployment model allows centralized management of multiple remote networks through a single pane of glass. With integrated support for management of routed, extended and iSCSI networks, EFCM 9.0 simplifies and automates configuration and zoning of multi-protocol, multi-site fabrics. Its modularity and scalability allow businesses to add scale and advanced functionality as their SAN grows and evolves, requiring fewer licenses and lower costs.

This new software release provides support for the latest features across McDATA switch and director portfolio, including its 4 and 10 Gbs interfaces.
