SilkWorm switches meet high-availability requirements with redundant, hot-pluggable components, hot code activation, automatic path rerouting, and extensive diagnostics. Leveraging the Brocade networking model, these switches can provide a SAN fabric capable of delivering overall system availability greater than 99.999 percent.

To meet the need for scalable and affordable SAN solutions, SilkWorm switches are backward and forward compatible—providing a seamless migration path all the way to 4 Gbit/sec connectivity and intelligent fabric services. In addition, support for heterogeneous SAN environments provides much greater flexibility in utilizing existing technology resources in cost-effective, easy-to-manage SAN environments.

From the 8-port SilkWorm 3250 to the 32-port SilkWorm 4100, organizations can experience high performance by using Brocade ISL Trunking to achieve 8 Gbit/sec of data throughput (up to 32 Gbit/sec of total throughput with the SilkWorm 4100).

SilkWorm switches are designed for easy deployment, management, and maintenance. When used in dual-fabric SAN environments, they support the highest levels of availability, reliability, and scalability. In addition, they simplify administration through embedded Brocade WEB TOOLS management software.

Designed for flexibility, SilkWorm switches provide a low-cost solution for DAS-to-SAN migration, small SAN islands, NAS back ends, and the edge of core-to-edge enterprise SANs. As a result, these switches are ideal as standalone departmental SANs or as high-performance edge switches in large enterprise SANs.

SilkWorm 24000 Director
The Brocade SilkWorm 24000 Director, is a highly reliable and intelligent solution for deploying enterprise-class SANs in mission-critical environments. It supports key applications such as data backup, remote mirroring, and high-availability clustering as well as high-volume transaction processing applications such as ERP and data warehousing.
With state-of-the-art performance and enhanced scalability for enterprise SAN environments, the SilkWorm 24000 provides unique capabilities to meet a variety of mission-critical requirements. By supporting 128 concurrently active 2 Gbit/sec full-duplex ports in a single domain, the SilkWorm 24000 offers improved performance, reduced management costs through a higher port/domain ratio, lower total cost of ownership, and the ability to upgrade to higher-speed connectivity options (by integrating 4 Gbit/sec SilkWorm 48000 blades).

Designed to integrate with both heterogeneous open system and IBM zSeries server FICON environments, the SilkWorm 24000 gives organizations the flexibility to build cost-effective SANs that support the introduction of utility computing and Information Lifecycle Management (ILM).
