Fast, Reliable 4 Gbit/sec Performance

• Provides up to 64 ports in a single domain and a 2U enclosure
• Supports full 4 Gbit/sec operations at distances up to 100 kilometers (or 500 kilometers at 1 Gbit/sec)
• Increases network performance with enhanced Brocade ISL Trunking, which enables a high-speed data path up to 32 Gbit/sec

Affordable Scalability

• Utilizes Ports on Demand capabilities for fast, easy, and cost-effective scalability from 32 to 64 ports in 16-port increments
• Provides a modular "pay-as-you-grow" approach that supports cost-effective business growth and easy upgrades

High Availability throughout the Fabric

• Non-disruptive software upgrades (hot code load and activation)
• Redundant, hot-swappable components, fans, and power supplies

Simplified Deployment and Management

• Hardware-enforced zoning by World Wide Name (WWN)
• Brocade Web Tools utilization over a secure browser using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol

Excellent Value for a Variety of SAN Environments

• Enables switch consolidation through its high port count-increasing utilization, lowering management expenses, and reducing fabric complexity
• Protects existing investments and offers an upgrade path for earlier 1 and 2 Gbit/sec devices
