Brocade
Brocade is the leading supplier of the open Fibre Channel fabric solutions that are the backbone of today's storage area networks. In addition to the SilkWorm 2400 and 2800 switches, SGI offers the new SilkWorm 3800 Enterprise Fabric Switch. Based on third-generation Brocade ASIC technology, SilkWorm 3800 combines 1Gb-per-second and 2Gb-per-second Fibre Channel throughput with new features that enhance switch operation. As a result, organizations can enjoy the advantages of higher security, availability, and performance, as well as centralized data management.

SGI is a proud member of the Brocade^® Fabric Aware^TM program. This program is a comprehensive testing and configuration initiative designed to foster end-to-end SAN interoperability in multi-vendor storage networking environments. As part of the program, companies agree to test in SAN configurations that comprise a heterogeneous mix of servers, storage subsystems, Brocade fabric switches, and other SAN technologies. Brocade has created an interoperability lab comprising a heterogeneous SAN fabric, in which the company tests and validates partner equipment in specific configurations. Vendors receive Brocade Fabric Aware qualification after completing tests to confirm that vendors' products meet interoperability guidelines. Visit the Brocade web site for more information on the Brocade Fabric Aware Program.
