Brocade Silkworm 4100 Enterprise Fabric Switch

The Brocade SilkWorm 4100 32-port, 1 Gbit/sec, 2 Gbit/sec and 4 Gbit/sec auto-sensing enterprise fabric switch combines the best of Brocade entry-to-enterprise features and functions in modular 16, 24 & 32 port configurations that offer enterprise scalability, manageability, and high availability at an affordable price.

A cost-effective modular switch solution, the SilkWorm 4100 leverages the industry's only intelligent fabric operating environment to provide high levels of security, management, and performance in a flexible SAN infrastructnure that evolves with changing requirements. Delivering up to 32 ports in a 1.5U form factor, the SilkWorm 4100 helps enable substantial cost savings, reducing capital and operating expenses while simplifying management. Ports on Demand capabilities for scaling from 16 to 24 or 32 ports with a simple license activation.

Designed for flexibility, the SilkWorm 4100 provides a complete solution for a departmental SAN fabric (as a small core) or for an edge switch extending the reach of an enterprise core-to-edge SAN built around the Brocade SilkWorm 24000 Director.
