Intel SBCEBFCESW Brocade 2Gb Fibre Channel Switch Module NEW BULK PACKAGING Product Specifications: Brocade 2Gb Fibre Channel Switch for SBCE chassis - Entry model The Brocade® Entry SAN and Enterprise SAN switch modules, based on the Brocade Silkworm 3900 platform, provide Brocade switch fabric connectivity for the Intel® Enterprise Blade Server Family. The entry SAN switch is ideal for small-to-medium deployments, and the enterprise switch supports larger SANs. The Intel® Blade Server Chassis (SBCE) supports two Fibre Channel switch modules connecting to 14 server blades using Intel® Fibre Channel expansion cards (SBFCM) and provides simplified SAN deployment, configuration, and integrated management. In addition, these switches offer software license keys for advanced Brocade fabric services. Specifications: • One PPC405GP processor that operates at 200 MHz • One 256 Kb serial electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (SEEPROM) • One real-time clock with a 10-year battery • Three temperature sensors • Two external autosensing Fibre Channel ports that operate at a maximum of 2 Gbps • 14 internal fixed-speed Fibre Channel ports that operate at 2 Gbps • Two internal full-duplex 100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces, terminated at a single MAC • Power-on diagnostics and status reporting • Standard Ethernet and Fibre Channel management information base (MIB) support • External ports that can be configured as F_ports (fabric ports), FL_ports (fabric loop ports), or E_ports (expansion ports) • Internal ports that are configured as F_ports at 2 Gbps • Frame-filtering technology that enables advanced zoning and monitoring capabilities • Optional short wavelength (SWL) and long wavelength (LWL) small form-factor pluggables (SFPs) The following software features come with the switch module: • Brocade Advanced Web Tools • Brocade Advanced Zoning • Brocade Fabric Watch • Full SAN Scaling (up to 239 switches) (Enterprise version only) • Support for Brocade Fabric Access API and API Scripting Toolkit • Two Domain Fabric (Entry version only) .The following software features are optional: • Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring • Brocade ISL Trunking • Brocade Performance Bundle • Brocade Extended Fabrics • Brocade Advanced Security (Secure OS) • Brocade Remote Switch • Entry Switch Upgrade (Entry version only) Optional Advanced Fabric Services To help you address your most challenging SAN requirements, advanced fabric services are implemented as software upgrades, allowing customers to incrementally take advantage of new capabilities. ■ 14 2-Gbit/sec FC internal fabric ports to server blades and 2 2-Gbit/sec external universal FC fabric ports ■ Entry module (connects to up to 2 switches) non-disruptively upgrades to enterprise module (full-fabric) using a software key ■ Provides full forward and backward compatibility with Brocade SilkWorm family and interoperability support for heterogeneous SAN environments ■ Simplified SAN deployment and administration through Brocade management tools ■ Provides a highly available, scalable, and secure foundation for SAN applications such as server and storage consolidation, high-performance server clustering, high-speed data backup, remote mirroring, and data replication. Industry-leading Brocade Solution The Brocade SAN Switch Modules demonstrate support from leading SAN vendors for the Intel® Enterprise Blade Server Family. For customers with an existing Brocade SAN environment, these switch modules provide a low-risk solution using tools and technology you already know. Simplified Deployment and Administration Brocade management tools including WebTools and Fabric Watch are integrated with the Intel® Blade Server Management Module. This allows you to easily manage your SAN environment using the same tools used to manage your blade servers. Affordable Scalability and Investment Protection To meet customers’ data expansion needs, the Brocade Entry SAN Switch Module is software-upgradeable to the enterprise model, allowing customers to pay as they grow without disruptions. |
