Brocade 200E

Brocade 200E

The 4 Gbit/sec Brocade 200E Switch provides an affordable single-switch solution for new small SANs or existing SANs that are being upgraded with newer technology. To help new SAN users deploy their SANs, the 8- to 16-port Brocade 200E features the EZSwitchSetup wizard and other key usability and configuration enhancements.

The Brocade 200E combines auto-sensing 1, 2, and 4 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel throughput with new features that greatly enhance switch operation. As a result, organizations can enjoy the advantages of low-cost device connectivity and powerful capabilities that make SAN technology highly accessible and affordable.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Provides an affordable, flexible foundation for entry-level SANs, and an edge switch for core-to-edge SAN environments
  • Simplifies configuration and administration with easy-to-use tools such as the Brocade EZSwitchSetup wizard
  • Enables “pay-as-you-grow” scalability from single-switch fabrics to full-fabric enterprise capabilities with Ports On Demand scalability from 8 to 12 or 16 ports in 4-port increments
  • Offers dual functionality as either a full-fabric SAN switch or as a Brocade Access Gateway
  • Provides 4 Gbit/sec performance and availability characteristics typically associated with larger enterprise-class solutions
  • Protects existing investments in Brocade Fabric OS and Brocade M-EOS*-based environments through native E_Port switch interoperability
  • Protects existing device investments with auto-configuring 1, 2, and 4 Gbit/sec capabilities
  • Increases flexibility by connecting into any SAN fabric in Brocade Access Gateway mode
