Brocade The Brocade Intelligent Fabric Operating Environment provides the basic switching functions, Fabric Connectivity Services, Fabric Management Services, Fabric Application Services, and support that improve manageability, availability, security, and scalability while enabling new types of applications. These services help evolve the network into an intelligent SAN fabric-a more robust interconnectivity solution that integrates data transport with application services-increasing operational efficiencies and extending the value of the SAN fabric. The Brocade® 48000, Brocade® 4900, Brocade® 5000, and Brocade® 200E switch models are enhancements to a growing family of products that leverage the next-generation architecture and services to extend the SAN environment, providing high-performance and cost-effective storage networking capabilities. Brocade® 48000 With its fifth-generation, high-performance architecture, the Brocade 48000 is ideal for use in the core of large SANs that require the highest levels of performance. To provide even higher performance, enhanced Brocade ISL Trunking combines up to eight 4 Gbit/sec ports between a pair of directors into a single, logical high-speed trunk running at up to 32 Gbit/sec. The Brocade 48000 is designed to integrate with heterogeneous environments that include IBM zSeries server and open platforms with multiple operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, and i5/OS.

The Brocade 48000 Director provides unique capabilities to meet the full spectrum of mission-critical requirements for enterprise SAN environments. It scales non-disruptively from 32 to as many as 256 concurrently active 4 Gbit/sec full-duplex ports in a single domain. Its reliable, high-availability capabilities make it ideal for enterprise management and high volume transaction processing applications such as ERP and data warehousing, as well as data backup.
The Brocade 4900 is a high-performance, high-availability Fibre Channel switch that provides high port density for addressing mission-critical storage requirements. With a flexible architecture that supports 1, 2, and 4 Gbit/sec technology with 32, 48, or 64 ports, the Brocade 4900 provides an affordable high-port-count, single-domain solution.
The Brocade 5000 offers a flexible architecture that supports E_Port interoperability for existing McDATA drives and connectivity into Brocade Fabric OS or M-Enterprise environments. Organizations can benefit from non-disruptive expansion of the existing SAN fabrics. In a modular 16, 24 or 32-port, the Brocade 5000 offers enterprise scalability, manageability, and high availability at an affordable price.
The 4 Gbit/sec Brocade® 200E 8-16 Ports On Demand Fibre Channel switch provides an affordable single-switch solution for new small SANs or existing SANs that are being upgraded with newer technology. To help new SAN users deploy their SANs, the Brocade 200E features the EZSwitchSetup wizard and other key usability and configuration enhancements.
SGI offers a wide variety of SAS and FC HBA's in configurations of PCIE and PCI-X host interfaces. Offering high-performance, the low cost HBA's accommodate both SAS and SATA needs. The Fibre Channel technology constructs the storage area networks (SANs), which are available in four and eight port options with internal and external connector configurations to support any applications. SGI's 4Gb/s FC HBAs are available in single, dual and quad-channel configurations.
