By networking Fibre Channel switches such
as the Brocade 4100 under a common
platform, Fabric OS greatly simplifies SAN
management. An embedded real-time
operating system, Fabric OS includes
standard management interfaces, a full
range of management tools, and support for
third-party SAN management applications.

To simplify SAN administration and reduce
costs, the Brocade 4100 supports switch
management through a command line
interface, Brocade web Tools, or Brocade
Fabric Manager. It also leverages Brocade
Advanced Fabric Services to improve the
utilization of existing storage and server
assets, increase administrator efficiency,
and lower the cost of storage management.

To facilitate deployment, the Brocade 4100
integrates easily into heterogeneous
environments such as windows NT, UNIX,
Linux, Solaris, and AIX. It also provides
FICON support on a flexible port-by-port
basis in IBM zSeries server environments.
FICON capabilities include FICON intermix
modes, cascaded FICON fabrics, and CUP
support for monitoring tools.
