Brocade SilkWorm 48000

The Brocade SilkWorm 48000 is available from Brocade Partner, NexStor.

The Brocade SilkWorm 48000 Director provides unique capabilities to meet the full spectrum of mission-critical requirements for enterprise SAN environments. It scales non-disruptively from 32 to as many as 256 concurrently active 4 Gbit/sec full-duplex ports in a single domain. Its reliable, high-availability capabilities make it ideal for enterprise management and high volume transaction processing applications such as ERP and data warehousing, as well as data backup.

With its fifth-generation, high-performance architecture, the SilkWorm 48000 is ideal for use in the core of large SANs that require the highest levels of performance. To provide even higher performance, enhanced Brocade ISL Trunking combines up to eight 4 Gbit/sec ports between a pair of directors into a single, logical high-speed trunk running at up to 32 Gbit/sec.

The SilkWorm 48000 is designed to integrate with heterogeneous environments that include IBM zSeries server and open platforms with multiple operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, and i5/OS.
