By networking Fibre Channel switches 
such as the Brocade 5000 under a
common platform, Fabric OS simplifies 
SAN management through standard 
management interfaces and support for
third-party management applications. 
The Brocade 5000 supports switch 
management through a command line
interface, Brocade web Tools, EFCM, or 
Fabric Manager.
To facilitate deployment, the Brocade 
5000 integrates easily into heterogeneous
environments with operating systems such
as windows NT, UNIX, Linux, Solaris, and 
AIX. It is also designed to provide FICON
®
support on a flexible port-by-port basis in 
IBM mainframe environments. FICON-ready 
capabilities include FICON intermix modes, 
cascaded FICON fabrics (supported only in 
FOS environments), and CUP support for 
monitoring tools.

The Brocade 5000 is designed for the 
highest level of SAN fabric security to 
help organizations safeguard their critical
information. It utilizes Brocade Advanced 
Zoning as well as advanced port and switch
Access Control Lists (ACLs) to simplify 
administration and significantly increase 
control over data access. To simplify 
management access security, the Brocade
5000 supports Active Directory with LDAP.
