SilkWorm 200E
(also sold as IBM 2005-B16 & EMC DS-200B)

The Brocade 200E significantly increases performance and functionality for SANs at an entry-level price. Based on fifth-generation Brocade technology, the Brocade 200E combines auto-sensing 1, 2, and 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel throughput with new features that greatly enhance switch operation. As a result, organizations can enjoy the advantages of low-cost device connectivity and powerful capabilities that make SAN technology highly accessible and affordable.

4100 SilkWorm
(also sold as IBM 2005-B32 & EMC DS-4100)

The Brocade SilkWorm 4100 Fibre Channel switch combines up to 32 ports of 4 Gb/s performance with high availability and Ports on Demand to support mission-critical SANs. With a flexible architecture supporting 1,2 and 4 Gb/s auto-sensing, SilkWorm 4100 provides excellent performance at an affordable price.

5000 Switch
(also sold as IBM 2005-B5K & DS-32B4)

The Brocade 5000 family was designed for rapidly growing environments, which combines scalability with superior investment protection. It features a flexible architecture supporting native E_Port interoperability for seamless connectivity into Brocade Fabric OS (FOS) or McData Enterprise OS (M-EOS) environments. The Brocade 5000 switch is the first of its kind that can operate in SAN fabrics running FOS native, FOS open, McData M-EOS native, and McData M-EOS open modes.

(also sold as IBM 2005-H16 & DS-16B2)

The Brocade SilkWorm 3850 16-port fabric switch significantly increases performance and functionality for small SAN environments. The SilkWorm 3850 combines 1 and 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel capabilities with features that significantly improve SAN security, availability, performance, and management. Designed for use in both entry and enterprise environments, the SilkWorm 3850 provides the ability to scale from entry 2-switch fabrics to full-fabric enterprise capabilities.

(also sold as IBM 3534-F08 & DS-8B2)

The Brocade SilkWorm 3200 8-port, 1 Gb/s and 2 Gbit/sec auto-sensing entry fabric switch significantly increases performance and functionality for small-to-mediumsized SANs. Based on advanced Brocade third-generation switch ASIC technology, the SilkWorm 3200 combines over 32 Gb/s of aggregate Fiber Channel throughput with advanced new features that greatly enhance the value of a wide range of SAN environments.

(also sold as IBM 2109-S16 & DS-16B)

The Brocade 2800 16-port, 1 Gb/s Fabric Switch is recommended only for SAN environments (such as those running Fabric OS 2.6.0C) that already utilize this product model and not for new installations. The Brocade 2800 Switch is designed to address the SAN requirements of workgroups and departments. It supports scalability through networking multiple switches and a fabric operating system that enables heterogeneous device connectivity, automatic data routing and rerouting, self-healing, and scalable connectivity. It is ideal for SAN applications such as LAN-free backup, storage consolidation, and clustering configurations.
