Available in two configurations (the Brocade 
7800 16/6 Extension Switch and the 
Brocade 7800 4/2 Extension Switch), 
the Brocade 7800 supports a variety of 
architectures and deployment models to 
address current and future SAN extension 
requirements. A broad range of optional 
advanced extension, FICON
®
, and SAN 
fabric services are available to address the 
most challenging extension and storage 
networking requirements. 
The Brocade 7800 16/6 Extension Switch 
is a robust platform for data centers and 
multisite environments implementing disk 
and tape solutions for open systems and 
mainframe environments. Organizations can 
optimize bandwidth and throughput through 
sixteen 8 Gbps Fibre Channel ports and 
six 1 GbE ports. The Brocade 7800 16/6 
Extension Switch is ideal for:
• Open systems and mainframe disk  
and tape extension
• Multisite synchronous and asynchronous 
storage replication
• Centralized SAN backup, recovery,  
and archiving
The Brocade 7800 4/2 Extension Switch is 
a cost-effective option for smaller data 
centers and remote offices, for open 
systems and mainframe environments. 
Organizations can optimize bandwidth  
and throughput through four 8 Gbps  
Fibre Channel ports and two 1 GbE  
ports. The Brocade 7800 4/2 can be  
easily upgraded to the Brocade 7800  
16/6 through software licensing, providing 
scalability and investment protection for 
growing environments. The Brocade 7800 
4/2 Extension Switch is ideal for: 
• Point-to-point synchronous and 
asynchronous open systems disk 
replication
• Point-to-point IBM z/OS Global Mirror 
(zGM, formerly known as eXtended 
Remote Copy or XRC) and mainframe 
tape extension
SIMPLIFIED DISASTER RECOVERY 
AND DATA PROTECTION
Today’s organizations depend on fast, 
reliable access to data wherever and 
whenever needed, regardless of location. 
As a result, the ramifications and potential 
business impact of an inadequate disaster 
recovery and data protection infrastructure 
are greater than ever.
The advanced performance and network 
optimization features of the Brocade 7800 
enable replication and backup applications 
to send more data over FCIP links in less 
time, protecting time-sensitive synchronous 
or other high-priority traffic, and optimizing 
available WAN bandwidth. 
Acceleration for SCSI writes (FastWrite) and 
IBM zGM maximize replication performance 
and enable cost-effective synchronous 
and asynchronous replication across any 
distance. In addition, Tape Pipelining for 
open systems and mainframe tapes utilizes 
unique read and write tape processing to 
significantly reduce backup and recovery 
times over distance anywhere in the world. 
Optional FCIP Trunking provides FCIP tunnel 
redundancy for lossless path failover and 
guaranteed in-order data delivery in the 
event of a failure.

and data protection storage solutions across any distance.
