The Brocade SilkWorm 3850 16-port auto-sensing Fibre Channel switch
significantly increases performance and functionality for small SAN
environments. The SilkWorm 3850 combines 1 and 2 Gbit/sec Fibre
Channel throughput with features that improve SAN security,
availability, performance, and management.
Designed for use in small SAN environments, the SilkWorm 3850
provides the ability to scale from entry 2-switch fabrics to
full-fabric enterprise capabilities. As a result, it enables a
seamless upgrade path and cost-effective migration, along with
backward and forward compatibility with SilkWorm entry, midrange,
and director-class offerings. The SilkWorm 3850 is ideal for key SAN
solutions such as LAN free backup and server and storage
consolidation.
