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.
