The Brocade Encryption Switch
The Brocade Encryption Switch is a high-performance, 32-port, auto-sensing 8 Gbps Fibre Channel
switch with data cryptographic (encryption/decryption) and data compression capabilities. The
switch is a network-based solution that secures data-at-rest for heterogeneous tape drives, disk
array LUNs, and virtual tape libraries by encrypting the data using Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) 256-bit algorithms. Encryption and decryption engines provide in-line encryption services
with up to 96 Gbps throughput for disk I/O (mix of ciphertext and cleartext traffic) and up to 48
Gbps throughput for tape I/O (mix of ciphertext and cleartext traffic). Refer to “The FS8-18 blade”
on page 5 for information about license requirements for 48 Gbps and 96 Gbps throughput.
In addition to its 32 Fibre Channel ports, the switch has one RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet (GE)
management port, two RJ45 GE ports for clustering interconnection and rekey synchronization, one
RJ-45 Serial console port, and one USB port for serviceability, error logging, and firmware upgrades
(Figure 1) .

Fibre Channel ports (0-31) - 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gbps auto-sensing F, FL, E, EX, or M ports to connect
host servers, SAN disks, SAN tapes, edge switches, or core switches.
