Brocade 300 Network Switch Box For Entry Level And Mid - Range Enterprise SANs

Brocade 300 SAN Switch

Performance characteristics

Brocade 300 - 24-port 8 Gb/sec Fibre Channel switch for entry-level and mid-range enterprise SANs.
Fast and reliable performance of 8 GBps

The non-blocking rich bandwidth platform provides a total bandwidth of 408 Gb/sec in a 1U form factor.
Designed to enhance network performance with enhanced Brocade Inter-Switch Link (ISL) trunking technology, combining up to 8 ports (speed 2, 4 or 8 Gb/sec) between a pair of switches, merging into speed Single logic high speed trunk (ISL) up to 64 Gb/sec.
With extended distance support, the original Fibre Channel can be expanded over 590 kilometers.
Economical and practical scalability

Combine up to 24 ports with industry-leading 8 Gb/sec technology to deliver "expanded investment with growth" performance through high availability and on-demand port enhancements (from 8 to 16 to 24 ports).
Helps protect existing investments by providing 8 Gb/sec technology with auto-sensing and identifying 1, 2 and 4 Gb/sec devices.
Enterprises can now use 4 Gbps SFPs and upgrade to 8 Gbps SFPs as needed; today's investments are designed to meet future needs.
Simple deployment and management

Simplify the SAN configuration to a 3-step point-and-click task using the Brocade EZSwitchSetup wizard.
It has a USB port to increase the repair capability, facilitate firmware upgrades and download system log files, and has an error log function.
An easy-to-use, non-blocking, rich bandwidth platform designed to eliminate wasted time on management ports and cables.
Excellent value for a variety of SAN environments

Provides dual functionality as a full-fabric FC SAN switch or as a Brocade access gateway, providing seamless connectivity to any vendor SAN environment.
Designed to increase energy efficiency (watts/GB) by 40% over previous generation Brocade switches, further reducing data center power consumption and total cooling load.
