The Brocade 5100 Switch is an enterprise-class Fibre Channel switch designed for SAN (Storage Area Network) environments. It offers a flexible, easy-to-use solution for rapidly growing storage requirements in mission-critical environments. The switch combines 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel technology in configurations of 24, 32, or 40 ports in an efficiently designed 1U package. 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 Brocade 5100 features a non-blocking architecture with up to 40 ports concurrently active at 8 Gbit/sec full duplex, providing an aggregate bandwidth of 680 Gbit/sec. It also supports the use of 4 Gbit/sec SFPs, with an upgrade path to 8 Gbit/sec SFPs. The switch utilizes ASIC technology featuring five 8-port groups, with an Inter-Switch Link (ISL) trunk capable of supplying up to 68 Gbit/sec of balanced data throughp
