HIGHLIGHTS • Delivers full 8 Gbps 1:1 performance for up to 40 ports in an energy-efficient, optimized 1U form factor • Offers best-in-class port density and scalability for midrange enterprise SAN switches along with redundant, hot- pluggable components and non-disruptive software upgrades • Features Ports on Demand capabilities for fast, easy, and cost-effective scalability from 24 to 40 ports in 8-port increments • Provides Adaptive Networking services, such as Quality of Service (QoS), to help optimize application performance in consolidated, virtual environments • Supports Fibre Channel Integrated Routing for selective device sharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation for higher levels of scalability and fault isolation • Enables logical partitioning of switches and fabrics into virtual data and management domains through Virtual Fabrics • Offers dual functionality as either a full-fabric SAN switch or as an NPIV-enabled Brocade Access Gateway that simplifies server connectivity in heterogeneous enterprise fabrics • Utilizes the Brocade EZSwitchSetup wizard to simplify deployment, and is Microsoft Simple SAN-compatible (Brocade DCFM Professional is included for fabric-wide SAN monitoring and management) A Flexible, Easy-to-Use Switch for a Variety of SAN Environments As the value and volume of business data continue to rise, organizations need technology solutions that are easy to implement and manage, and that can grow and change with minimal disruption. The Brocade ® 5100 Switch is designed for rapidly growing storage requirements in mission-critical environments—combining 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps Fibre Channel technology in configurations of 24, 32, or 40 ports in an efficiently designed 1U package. As a result, it provides low-cost access to industry-leading SAN technology as well as “pay-as-you-grow” scalability for consolidating storage and maximizing the value of virtual server deployments. The Brocade 5100 features a flexible architecture that operates seamlessly with existing Brocade switches through native E_Port connectivity into Brocade Fabric OS ® (FOS) or BROCADE 5100 SWITCH STORAGE AREA NETWORK DATA SHEET www.brocade.com * Brocade M-EOS fabrics are McDATA switches and directors running McDATA Enterprise OS in McDATA Fabric mode or McDATA Open Fabric mode. M-Enterprise OS (M-EOS) * environments. With the highest port density of any midrange enterprise Fibre Channel switch, the Brocade 5100 is designed for a broad range of SAN architectures. The evolutionary design consumes less than 2.5 watts of power per port for exceptional power and cooling efficiency, and features consolidated power and fan assemblies to improve environmental performance and reduce ownership costs. These capabilities help make the Brocade 5100 a cost-effective building block for standalone networks or the edge of enterprise core-to-edge fabrics. To consolidate server connectivity using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), the Brocade 5100 is compatible with Brocade CEE/FCoE solutions.
