HIGHLIGHTS • Delivers high performance with a cut- through, non-blocking switch architecture • Features a top-of-rack, 1U, multiprotocol design that supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Fibre Channel, Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), and traditional Ethernet protocols • Provides up to 8 Gbit/sec performance with eight Fibre Channel ports and line-rate performance for 24 CEE ports with 10 Gigabit Ethernet • Improves energy efficiency, operating at 350 watts with redundant power supplies and cooling fan FRUs • Utilizes Brocade ISL Trunking for Fibre Channel and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for CEE • Streamlines management by utilizing Brocade Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM), Brocade Fibre Channel services, and extensions for FCoE and CEE A Versatile FCoE Switch for Server I/O Consolidation As IT organizations continue to face the increased complexity of system configuration and ever-rising operational costs, they are looking for new ways to simplify their IT environments. To address this challenge, Brocade ® offers a versatile switch that supports both Fibre Channel and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) to help organizations simplify their growing infrastructures. The Brocade 8000 Switch provides a reliable platform that helps reduce cable clutter, equipment acquisition costs, and operational costs associated with power consumption and cooling. This unique top-of-rack switch features a low-profile 1U form factor and low power consumption (a maximum 350 watts), leading the way toward a “greener” data center. BRoCADE 8000 SwITCh STORAGE AREA NETWORK DATA ShEET The Brocade 8000 features eight 8 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel ports along with 24 Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) ports with 10 Gigabit Ethernet capabilities. The CEE ports are capable of transporting both storage and LAN traffic—eliminating the need for separate SAN and LAN adapters and cables. The top-of-rack Brocade 8000 connects to servers through Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) such as the Brocade 1010 and Brocade 1020. The consolidated SAN and LAN server ports and corresponding cables simplify configuration and cabling in server cabinets to reduce acquisition costs. with fewer components using power or requiring cooling, organizations can save significant operating costs as well. Moreover, consolidation is not limited to hardware components. Because FCoE preserves Fibre Channel constructs and
