The Brocade 300 significantly increases
performance and functionality for SANs at an
entry-level price. Based on sixth-generation
Brocade technology, the Brocade 300
combines auto-sensing 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps
throughput with features that greatly enhance
fabric operation. The evolutionary design
provides these capabilities while consuming
less than 2.5 watts of power per port for
exceptional power and cooling efficiency.

As a result, organizations can enjoy the
advantages of low-cost device connectivity
and powerful capabilities that make SAN
technology highly accessible and affordable.
In addition, hot code load and activation
help maximize application uptime with
faster system software upgrades and
maintenance to reduce the dependency
on scheduled outages.
