Brocade SilkWorm 48000 Director

The Brocade SilkWorm 48000 director provides state-of-the-art 4 Gb/sec Fibre Channel performance and scalability for large SANs with the most demanding requirements for high availability—with proven fabric intelligence and investment protection. Organizations gain performance and scalability with up to 256 ports in a single domain and more powerful control processors that provide faster fabric services. Its design includes high-availability features to support "five-nines" operation, and includes the lowest TCO per port for power and cooling. The SilkWorm 48000 protects investments with full compatibility across with the entire SilkWorm product line, multiprotocol capabilities, and support for next-generation application processing blades. Key benefits include:

• 256 ports in a single domain which reduces design and management time, greater scalability, and reduces TCO
• 4 Gb/sec data transfer speed for improved performance, better response time, and improved productivity
• Flexibility for the widest range of workloads with 16- or 32-port blades
• Support for FC2 16-port blade (SilkWorm 24000 port blades) to provide investment protection for existing port blades
• Transparent addition of the SilkWorm 48000 to existing 1, 2, and 4 Gb/sec fabrics doubles the switch bandwidth available to key applications and storage.
• Available as a Sun System Pack, which combines the product with the right services as one offering
