Brocade Silkworm 3200 fabric switch
 
The Brocade® SilkWorm® 3200 fabric switch delivers eight ports of one gigabit per second and two gigabit per second auto-sensing entry fabric connectivity in a single chassis. Designed for low-cost flexibility, the SilkWorm 3200 switch increases performance and functionality for small-to-medium-sized SANs.
 
Spec Summary
   
Fibre Channel ports: 8 (all universal ports or any one universal port)
 
Fabric latency: <2 msec with no contention, cut-through routing
 
Performance: 2.125 Gb/sec line speed, full duplex
 
 
Applications
Disk mirroring
Disk SANs employing Brocade SilkWorm switches can be implemented to improve the manageability of local and remote mirroring systems, keeping online data better protected and more available.
Storage consolidation
By consolidating storage with a SAN using Brocade SilkWorm switches, you can better manage and protect all of your business critical information.
Disaster recovery
Brocade SilkWorm switches play a critical role in complete disaster recovery systems, including SANs for clustering/fail-over, remote data vaulting and backup and restore functions.
Backup and restore
Brocade SilkWorm switches are at the center of storage area networks (SANs) used to enable backup and restore to be shared across several applications, reducing costs and simplifying management.
 
Benefits
High performance
The SilkWorm 3200 switch provides excellent price/performance value. All ports are capable of operating at one and two gigabits per second, enabling switch throughput of 32 gigabits per second.
Simplified SAN deployment
The SilkWorm 3200 switch simplifies SAN deployment and administration through embedded Brocade® WEB TOOLS management software.
High availability
The SilkWorm 3200 switch provides a SAN fabric capable of delivering overall system availability greater than 99.999 percent.
Flexibility
The SilkWorm 3200 switch supports multiple levels of availability and scalability including the option for full-fabric or entry-fabric operation.
Investment protection
The SilkWorm 3200 switch provides a seamless upgrade path along with backward and forward compatibility with other SilkWorm switches.
 
Features
Standard features:
Brocade Advanced Zoning
Logically groups the SAN fabric into an unlimited number of secure, private zones so that devices access only their authorized storage resources.
Brocade Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking
Supports high-speed traffic by combining up to four ISLs between a pair of switches into a single, logical high-speed trunk running at up to 8 gigabits per second.
Intelligent Fabric Services Architecture
Brocade incorporates intelligence directly into the switch fabric—creating a highly available, scalable, and secure environment for storage applications.
