Brocade Silkworm 3800 fabric switch |
| The
Brocade® SilkWorm® 3800 enterprise fabric switch
provides 16 ports in a single 1 u enclosure with
auto-sensing one and two gigabit per second interfaces.
It scales from entry two-switch fabrics to full-fabric
enterprise capabilities, making it ideal for businesses
that want to upgrade their existing enterprise
environments with minimal disruption. |

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 |
Investment protection
The SilkWorm 3800 switch provides a seamless upgrade
path along with backward and forward compatibility
with SilkWorm entry, midrange, and core fabric
switch offerings. |
Simplified management
The SilkWorm 3800 switch simplifies management by
networking core and edge switches with Brocade
Fabric OS, an embedded real-time operating system. |
High
performance
The SilkWorm 3800 switch provides high performance
with all ports capable of operating at one and two
gigabits per second (full-duplex) to enable 32
gigabits per second of switch throughput. |
High
availability
The SilkWorm 3800 switch meets high-availability
requirements with redundant, hot-pluggable
components, automatic path rerouting and extensive
diagnostics capable of delivering overall system
availability greater than 99.999 percent. |
|
| |
|
Features |
Brocade
Fabric Access API
Provides critical functions for integrating
applications with the SAN environment. |
Brocade
Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking
Create an eight-gigabit per second data path between
switches for higher performance. |
Brocade
Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF)
FSPF enables the fabric to automatically isolate
problems and reroute traffic around failed links
onto alternate paths – maintaining availability for
mission-critical enterprise applications.
|
Brocade
Advanced Fabric Services
Enables new capabilities such as hardware-enforced
World Wide Name (WWN) zoning for improved security
and manageability. |
