The Brocade SilkWorm 24000 Director, is a highly reliable and intelligent solution for deploying enterprise-class SANs in mission-critical environments. It supports key applications such as data backup, remote mirroring, and high-availability clustering as well as high-volume transaction processing applications such as ERP and data warehousing.
With state-of-the-art performance and enhanced scalability for enterprise SAN environments, the SilkWorm 24000 provides unique capabilities to meet a variety of mission-critical requirements. By supporting 128 concurrently active 2 Gbit/sec full-duplex ports in a single domain, the SilkWorm 24000 offers improved performance, reduced management costs through a higher port/domain ratio, lower total cost of ownership, and the ability to upgrade to higher-speed connectivity options.
