Used Brocade Switches
Industry-leading Used Brocade Silkworm fabric switches connect servers and
storage devices throughout Fibre Channel SANs. The resulting high-speed, robust
storage networks enable organizations to access and share data in a
high-performance, manageable, and scalable manner.
To help protect existing investments, Used Silkworm switches are fully
forward and backward compatible. This capability enables organizations to deploy
1, 2, and 4 Gbit/sec SAN environments with highly scalable core-to-edge
configurations. Used Silkworm switch models range in size from eight ports to 32
ports, and can function as standalone or edge switches, depending upon specific
SAN requirements.
Used Brocade embedded fibre channel switches are modules that can be added to
popular blade server products, providing switched fibre channel connectivity for
the multiple server blades in a chassis. These configurations are appropriate
for applications ranging from large data centers to workgroup SANs and offer
greatly reduced implementation costs as compared to a purely external SAN with
an embedded Fibre Channel pass-through module.
High Availability
Used Silkworm switches meet high-availability requirements with redundant,
hot-pluggable components, hot code activation, automatic path rerouting, and
extensive diagnostics. Leveraging the Used Brocade networking model, these
switches can provide a SAN fabric capable of delivering overall system
availability greater than 99.999 percent.
Affordability
To meet the need for scalable and affordable SAN solutions, Used Silkworm
switches are backward and forward compatible—providing a seamless migration path
all the way to 4 Gbit/sec connectivity and intelligent fabric services. In
addition, support for heterogeneous SAN environments provides much greater
flexibility in utilizing existing technology resources in cost-effective,
easy-to-manage SAN environments.
Fast, Reliable Performance
From the 8-port Used Silkworm 3250 to the 32-port Used Silkworm 4100,
organizations can experience high performance by using Used Brocade ISL Trunking
to achieve 8 Gbit/sec of data throughput (up to 32 Gbit/sec total throughput
with Used Silkworm 4100).
Simplified Management
Used Silkworm switches are designed for easy deployment, management, and
maintenance. When used in dual-fabric SAN environments, they support the highest
levels of availability, reliability, and scalability. In addition, they simplify
administration through embedded Used Brocade Web Tools management software.
Excellent Value
Designed for flexibility, Used Silkworm switches provide a low-cost solution
for DAS-to-SAN migration, small SAN islands, NAS back ends, and the edge of
core-to-edge enterprise SANs. As a result, these switches are ideal as
standalone departmental SANs or as high-performance edge switches in large
enterprise SANs
