Switches and Directors 4 Gbit/s fibre channel is the latest and currently fastest technology for connecting the servers and storage devices. The 8- up to 528-port, auto-sensing fibre channel switches and directors significantly increase performance and functionality for Storage Area Networks (SANs).
Brocade 5300 switch
The Brocade 5300 is an 8Gb Fibre Channel switch that provides superior performance and port density for the most demanding SAN environments. With up to 80 ports in an efficient 2U design, it is an ideal solution for enabling greater data center consolidation and virtualization throughout the enterprise.
Brocade 5100 switch
The Brocade 5100 Switch is designed for rapidly growing storage environments-combining 1, 2, 4, and 8Gb 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.
Brocade 300 switch
The Brocade 300 is an 8Gb Fibre Channel switch that provides an 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.
Cisco Catalist 4900 series switches
The Catalyst 4900M Switches offer a unique, small, semi-modular switch that offers the flexibility of deploying Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet in a 2RU form factor. The 4900M provides the flexibility to deploy Gigabit Ethernet now and cost-effectively migrate to10 Gigabit Ethernet as requirements change.
CISCO Nexus 5000 Series
The Cisco® Nexus 5000 Series, part of the Cisco Nexus family of data center-class switches, delivers an innovative architecture to simplify data center transformation by enabling a high-performance standards-based Ethernet unified fabric. The platform consolidates separate Local Area Network (LAN), Storage Area Network (SAN) and server cluster network environments into a single unified fabric.
Brocade 48000 Director
The Brocade 48000 Director is the industry's leading director-class platform for enterprise SANs, delivering powerful 8Gb and 4Gb connectivity, advanced hardware and software capabilities, and "five-nines" reliability. The Brocade 48000's modular design and high port density provides a flexible and scalable solution for large open systems and System z environments in round-the-clock data centers. Organizations can utilize it as a standalone director, at the core of a multi-switch SAN, or at the edge of a Brocade data center fabric architecture.
