EXCELLENT VALUE FOR A VARIETY OF

SAN ENVIRONMENTS

The Brocade®SilkWorm®3200 line

of 8-port, 1 Gbit/sec and 2 Gbit/sec

auto-sensing entry fabric switches

significantly increases performance and

functionality for small-to-medium-

sized SANs.Based on advanced

Brocade third-generation switchASIC

technology,the SilkWorm 3200 line

combines over 32 Gbit/sec of

aggregate Fibre Channel throughput

with advanced new features that

greatly enhance the value of a wide

range of SAN environments.

Designed for low-cost flexibility,

the SilkWorm 3200 line can provide

an end-to-end 2 Gbit/sec switch

solution that serves a variety of

purposes,including:

•Afast and easy way to migrate

from DAS to SAN environments

(see Figure 1)

•Areliable base for small SAN islands

and storage fan-out connectivity

•Akey component for highly avail-

able server clustering environments

•ANAS back end that supports

storage consolidation and tape

backup for multiple NAS filers

•An entry-point edge switch

designed for both entry

fabrics and high-performance

core-to-edge networks

supporting the connectivity of

2 Gbit/sec devices

•Alow-cost replacement for

legacy hubs and loop switches

•Ascalable solution for

2-switch entry fabrics up

to full-fabric enterprises

INCREASED INTELLIGENCE IN THE SWITCH

Brocade has developed an Intelligent

Fabric Operating Environment

that incorporates intelligence

directly into the switch fabric—

creating a highly available,scalable,

and secure environment for storage

applications.This architecture

improves performance for SAN

applications through the use of

advanced fabric services such as

optional Brocade Inter-Switch Link

(ISL)Trunking and wire-speed

Frame Filtering.

The Brocade SilkWorm 3200 line of

entry-to-enterprise fabric switches simplifies

Storage Area Network (SAN) deployment,

enabling cost-effective migration from

Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) environments.

Highlights

•Provides a low-cost switch solution for

DAS-to-SAN migration, small SAN

islands, NAS back ends, the edge of

core-to-edge enterprise SANs, and

hub/loop switch replacement

•Enables low-cost storage connectivity

for server clustering environments

•Helps increase ROI for organizations

that need reliable, high-performance

SANs to support business applications

•Enables 8-port 1 Gbit/sec and

2 Gbit/sec intelligent switching at

an unprecedented price point

•Provides full forward and

backward compatibility with other

Brocade SilkWorm switches

•Simplifies SAN deployment

and administration through

embedded Brocade WEB TOOLS

management software

•Provides the ability to scale from

entry 2-switch fabrics to full-feature

enterprise-level capabilities

SILKWORM 3200

SILKWORM SWITCH FAMILY

To support high-speed data traffic,optional

ISLTrunking combines up to four ISLs

between a pair of switches into a single,

logical high-speed trunk running at up

to 8 Gbit/sec.In addition,Frame Filtering

improves both SAN security and managea-

bility.This intelligent design enables new

capabilities such as hardware-enforced zon-

ing based onWorld-Wide Name (WWN)

and advanced performance monitoring to

optimize storage resource utilization.

HIGH AVAILABILITY THROUGHOUT THE FABRIC

The full-fabric version of the SilkWorm 3200

is designed to provide high-availability

switching in redundant dual-fabric SANs

for small-to-medium-sized deployments.

Combining the proven reliability of

the SilkWorm family with a wide

range of advanced fabric services,the

SilkWorm 3200 line provides a SAN

fabric capable of delivering overall system

availability greater than 99.999 percent—

the“five nines”of availability.

With the Brocade Extended Fabrics feature

and DenseWave Division Multiplexing

(DWDM) technology,storage networks

can span up to 100 km (1 Gbit/sec) or

50 km (2 Gbit/sec) over Metropolitan Area

Networks (MANs)—helping to ensure the

highest levels of business continuance.

FAST, RELIABLE 2 GBIT/SEC PERFORMANCE

The SilkWorm 3200 line provides excellent

price/performance value with all ports

capable of operating at 1 and 2 Gbit/sec

(full-duplex) to enable 32 Gbit/sec of

uncongested switch throughput.Auto-

sensing and speed-matching of 1 and

2 Gbit/sec traffic ensures interoperability

between current 1 Gbit/sec devices and

next-generation 2 Gbit/sec devices.

INVESTMENT PROTECTION FOR

EXISTING TECHNOLOGY

To help protect existing investments,

the SilkWorm 3200 line offers full backward

and forward compatibility with other

SilkWorm switches—providing a seamless

migration path to 2 Gbit/sec connectivity

and intelligent fabric services.

Because the new switch supports multivendor

SAN environments—such as those built on

Windows NT/2000,UNIX, Linux,Solaris,

andAIX platforms—organizations migrating

from DAS environments have much

greater flexibility in building low-cost,

easy-to-manage SANs.As a result,these

organizations can quickly deploy business

continuance applications such as remote,

LAN-free, and serverless backup; storage

consolidation;remote mirroring;

clustering;and data replication.

While DAS environments do not

allow storage resource sharing,

SANs provide an easy and cost-

effective way to share storage—

even in multivendor environments.

SIMPLIFIED SAN MONITORING

AND MANAGEMENT

The SilkWorm 3200 line simplifies

SAN management by leveraging Brocade

Fabric OS,an embedded real-time

operating system.As a result,organizations

can easily centralize storage management,

automate management tasks,and reduce

overall administrative costs.The optional

Brocade Fabric Manager provides addi-

tional functions for managing multiple

SAN fabrics from a single location.

Through optional software such as

Brocade Advanced Performance

Monitoring,organizations can also

improve end-to-end performance

analysis by measuring resource utilization

on a fabric-wide basis—to quickly

identify bottlenecks,optimize fabric

configurations,and plan for when

additional capacity will be required.

To reduce the complexity of

deploying and maintaining multiple

Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs),

the SilkWorm 3200 is a single FRU

that includes redundant cooling fans.

A NEW LEVEL OF SAN SECURITY

To ensure that devices can access only

their authorized storage resources,

optional Brocade Advanced Zoning

logically groups a SAN fabric into an

unlimited number of secure private

SANs (zones).

MULTIPLE FABRIC OPTIONS FOR

GREATER FLEXIBILITY

To support multiple levels of availability

and scalability,the SilkWorm 3200 line

includes the option for full-fabric or

entry-fabric operation (see Figure 2).

All entry-fabric switches can be

nondisruptively upgraded to full-fabric

switches with a simple software license

key upgrade.

Full-Fabric Option

The full-fabric switch option is designed

for highly available dual-fabric SAN

environments as well as for cost-effective

core-to-edge SANs (as an edge switch).

The full-fabric switch option features

a full set of universal ports that enable

high scalability and availability in growing

SAN environments.Also included are

software license keys for Brocade

WEBTOOLS,Advanced Zoning,

and QuickLoop—as well as the option

for Small Form-factor Pluggable

(SFP) media.

Entry-Fabric Option

The entry-fabric switch option is most

suitable for supporting basic SAN

connectivity,tape backup for multiple

NAS devices,low-cost hub replacement,

and embedded SAN or NAS applications.

The entry-fabric switch option features

the ability to build up to a 2-switch

fabric.The optional full-fabric license

enables fabrics larger than two switches.

Also included is a software license key

for BrocadeWEBTOOLS—as well as

the option for SFP media.

MAXIMIZING SAN INVESTMENTS

Brocade and its partners offer complete,

cost-effective SAN solutions to meet a

wide range of technology and business

requirements.These solutions include

education and training,support,

service,and professional services to

help optimize SAN investments.
