Network (SAN) requirements.

As the latest addition to the Brocade

2 Gbit/sec fabric switch family,

the SilkWorm 3900 is ideal for

organizations that face rapidly

changing storage requirements.

With the performance capabilities

of an enterprise switch and the

cost-effectiveness of a modular

switch solution, the SilkWorm 3900

enables a flexible SAN infrastructure.

edge switch extending the reach of

an enterprise core-to-edge SAN

built around Brocade SilkWorm

Directors (see Figure 1).

Based on a third-generation

Brocade intelligent architecture,

the SilkWorm 3900 provides a

highly available, scalable, and secure

foundation for SAN applications

such as high-speed data backup,

server and storage consolidation,

remote mirroring, and long-distance

data replication.
