 Brocade SilkWorm 7500 is available from Brocade Partner, NexStor The SilkWorm 7500 combines the industry's first 4 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel routing capability with powerful hardware-assisted traffic forwarding for Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP). The switch features 16 Fibre Channel ports and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports-delivering high performance to run storage applications at line-rate speed with either protocol. By integrating these services in a single platform, the SilkWorm 7500 offers a wide range of benefits for inter-SAN connectivity, including long-distance SAN extension, greater resource sharing, and simplified management. - Provides powerful hardware-assisted FCIP capabilities for line-rate performance across high-speed data networks
- Enables reliable SAN extension across suboptimal WANs with Fast Write, hardware-based compression, and storage-optimized protocol enhancements
- Significantly reduces the cost and effort of SAN design, implementation, and management
- Integrates advanced SAN connectivity services into existing environments using standard utilities and procedures
- Enables non-disruptive deployment and device sharing across disparate SANs at 4 Gbit/sec speeds
- Simplifies interconnection and support for multivendor SAN environments
- Provides a seamless and secure way to share resources across multiple SANs without the complexity of physically merging those SANs
- Backward compatibility with previous Brocade SilkWorm offerings helps eliminate the need for significant SAN overhauls during implementation
