Optional Brocade Features
Optional Brocade features include:
Advanced Performance Monitoring
Enables more effective end-to-end SAN performance analysis to enhance
performance tuning, increase productivity, optimize resource utilization, and
reduce costs.
Extended Fabrics Supports the reliable, high-speed connectivity of SilkWorm switches over dark
fiber or Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) equipment at distances up
to 500 kilometers to enhance business continuance operations.
Fabric Watch Continuously monitors SAN fabrics for potential faults based on thresholds set
for a variety of SAN fabric elements and events—automatically alerting
administrators to potential problems before they become costly failures.
ISL Trunking Optimizes the performance and availability of SAN fabrics while simplifying
ISL management. Two 4 Gbit/sec SilkWorm switches can automatically group up
to eight ISLs into a single logical trunk with a total throughput of up to
32 Gbit/sec.
Advanced Zoning Automatically groups SAN fabric-connected devices into logical zones that
restrict access to member devices in the zone. Advanced Zoning uses hardware
enforcement at both the port and WWN level to provide more robust data
protection.
Secure Fabric OS Provides a comprehensive security solution to help protect mission-critical data.
Key features include centralized policy-based security management,
management data encryption, and authentication to create a fabric-wide trusted
environment with control over all levels of fabric access and communication.
