What type of interfaces does the VS2 model use for WAN COM connectivity?

The VS2 model utilizes 8GB Fibre Channel (FC) or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) for Wide Area Network Control Operations Management (WAN COM) connectivity. This flexibility allows organizations to choose between two types of high-speed connections, catering to different network infrastructure capabilities and performance needs.

Using 8GB FC enables compatibility with existing Fibre Channel environments, which may be important for organizations that have invested in Fibre Channel technology. On the other hand, 10GbE is a widely adopted standard in many data centers for IP-based networking, offering excellent performance for transporting data over Ethernet connections.

This combination of interface options enhances the versatility of the VS2 model, making it suitable for diverse environments and allowing it to interoperate with various networking components. By providing these options, the VS2 model can more easily fit into a wide range of IT infrastructures, thus improving operational efficiency and reducing potential integration challenges.

In contrast, other options listed represent either higher bandwidth capabilities that are not supported by the VS2 model or specific connectivity technologies that do not align with the designed capabilities for WAN COM in this context.
