Brocade Communications Systems SilkWorm 3200 사용자 설명서

The SilkWorm 3200 line simplifies 

SAN management by leveraging Brocade

Fabric OS, an embedded real-time 

operating system. As a result, organizations

can easily centralize storage management,

automate management tasks, and reduce

overall administrative costs.The optional

Brocade Fabric Manager provides addi-

tional functions for managing multiple

SAN fabrics from a single location.

Through optional software such as

Brocade Advanced Performance

Monitoring, organizations can also

improve end-to-end performance 

analysis by measuring resource utilization

on a fabric-wide basis—to quickly 

identify bottlenecks, optimize fabric

configurations, and plan for when 

additional capacity will be required.

To reduce the complexity of 

deploying and maintaining multiple

Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs),

the SilkWorm 3200 is a single FRU 

that includes redundant cooling fans.

To ensure that devices can access only

their authorized storage resources,

optional Brocade Advanced Zoning 

logically groups a SAN fabric into an

unlimited number of secure private

SANs (zones).

To support multiple levels of availability

and scalability, the SilkWorm 3200 line

includes the option for full-fabric or

entry-fabric operation (see Figure 2).

All entry-fabric switches can be 

nondisruptively upgraded to full-fabric

switches with a simple software license

key upgrade.

The full-fabric switch option is designed 

for highly available dual-fabric SAN

environments as well as for cost-effective

core-to-edge SANs (as an edge switch).

The full-fabric switch option features 

a full set of universal ports that enable

high scalability and availability in growing

SAN environments. Also included are 

software license keys for Brocade 

WEB TOOLS, Advanced  Zoning,

and QuickLoop—as well as the option

for Small Form-factor Pluggable 

(SFP) media.

The entry-fabric switch option is most

suitable for supporting basic SAN 

connectivity, tape backup for multiple

NAS devices, low-cost hub replacement,

and embedded SAN or NAS applications.

The entry-fabric switch option features

the ability to build up to a 2-switch 

fabric.The optional full-fabric license

enables fabrics larger than two switches.

Also included is a software license key 

for Brocade WEB TOOLS—as well as

the option for SFP media.

Brocade and its partners offer complete,

cost-effective SAN solutions to meet a

wide range of technology and business

requirements.These solutions include

education and training, support,

service, and professional services to 

help optimize SAN investments.

Entry-fabric options

Full-fabric option

The entry-fabric switch option enables connectivity with one
other switch in a maximum two switch configuration, while
the full fabric option enables much wider connectivity for
larger SAN environments.
