40-port 8Gb Fibre Channel Switch from Brocade. The Brocade®  5100 Switch is designed for rapidly growing storage requirements in mission-critical environments—combining 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbit/sec 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 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 help 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.
