The Brocade 300 is an 8 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel switch providing affordable entry-level solution for small SANs or the edge of larger SANs. It enables small to medium-sized enterprises to simplify their IT infrastructures, improve system performance, maximize the value of virtual server deployments, and reduce overall storage costs. It combines auto-sensing 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel throughput with features that greatly enhance fabric operation. The Brocade 300 provides these capabilities while consuming less than 2.5 watts of power per port for exceptional power and cooling efficiency. It also consists of a non-blocking architecture with as many as 24 ports concurrently active at 8 Gbit/sec (full duplex) with no over-subscription-providing an aggregate bandwidth of 408 Gbit/sec. In addition, enhanced Brocade ISL Trunking enables a single logical high-speed trunk capable of up to 68 Gbit/sec of throughput.
The Brocade 5100 Switch is designed for rapidly growing storage environments-combining 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel technology in configurations of 24, 32, or 40 ports in an efficient 1U form factor. Designed for a broad range of SAN architectures, the Brocade 5100 consumes less than 2.5 watts of power per port for exceptional power and cooling efficiency. It also features consolidated power and fan assemblies to improve environmental performance and reduce overall ownership costs. It also consists of a non-blocking architecture with as many as 40 ports concurrently active at 8 Gbit/sec (full duplex) with no over-subscription-providing an aggregate bandwidth of 680 Gbit/sec. In addition, enhanced Brocade ISL Trunking enables a single logical link at up to 68 Gbit/sec of balanced data throughput. The Brocade 5100 utilizes a suite of tools for optimizing fabric behavior and ensuring ample bandwidth for mission-critical applications.
The Brocade 5300 high-range enterprise switch is an industry-leading switch for Virtualized Data Centers. It delivers a full 8Gbit/sec 1:1 performance for up to 80 ports in a single-domain optimized 2U form factor. The 5300 combines 1, 2, 4 and 8Gbit/sec technology in configurations of 48, 64 or 80 ports. With it's best in class port density and scalability for enterprise SAN switches, the 5300 comes with redundant, hot-pluggable components and non-disruptive software upgrades
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.
