Brocade - 48000 Director - E2new.com IT equipment

With state-of-the-art performance and enhanced scalability for open system and IBM mainframe enterprise SAN environments, the Brocade 48000 Director provides unique capabilities to meet the full spectrum of mission-critical requirements. It scales non-disruptively from 32 to as many as 384 concurrently active 4 Gbit/sec full-duplex ports in a single domain. In addition, it supports Fibre Channel routing, FCIP, and iSCSI, and is designed for future applications and higher-speed options.

Reliable Foundation for Core-to-Edge SANs

With its fifth-generation, high-performance architecture, the Brocade 48000 is a reliable foundation for core-to-edge SANs, enabling fabrics capable of supporting thousands of hosts and storage devices. To provide even higher performance, enhanced Brocade ISL Trunking combines up to eight 4 Gbit/sec ports between switches into a single, logical high-speed trunk running at up to 32 Gbit/sec.

Ideal for Enterprise Applications

The Brocade 48000 is designed to integrate with heterogeneous environments that include IBM mainframe and open platforms with multiple operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, and i5/OS. These capabilities help make it ideal for enterprise management and high-volume transaction processing applications such as:
1. ERP
2. Data warehousing
3. Data backup
4. Remote mirroring
5. High-availability clustering
