Brocade 5100
Fibre Channel switch
Up to 40 ports
Pages 3
The Brocade® 5100 is ideal for organizations requiring a flexible solution that will meet rapidly evolving storage
requirements, either as a building-block sw itch for a small SAN or as a high-performance edge switch in larger core-toedge SAN configurations. With a flexible architecture that supports 1, 2, 4 and 8 Gbit/sec technology with 24, 32, or 40
ports, the Brocade 5100 provides an affordable high-port-count, single-domain solution.
A Flexible, Easy-to-Use Switch for a Variety of SAN
Environments
As the value and volume of business data continue to rise,
organizations need technology solutions that are easy to
implement and manage, and that can grow and change with
minimal disruption. The Brocade
rapidly growing storage requirements in mission-critical
environments—combining 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbit/sec Fibre
Channel technology in configurations of 24, 32, or 40 ports in
an efficiently designed 1U package. As a result, 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. With the
highest port density of any midrange enterprise switch, the
Brocade 5100 is designed for a broad range of SAN
architectures. The evolutionary design consumes less than
2.5 watts of power per port for exceptional power and cooling
efficiency, and features consolidated power and fan
assemblies to improve environmental performance and
reduce ownership costs. These capabilities help make the
Brocade 5100 a cost-effective building block for standalone
networks or the edge of enterprise core-to-edge fabrics.
INDUSTRY-LEADING PERFORMANCE
To support mission-critical environments, the Brocade 5100
provides best-in-class performance for midrange SAN
switches. It features a non-blocking architecture with as many
as 40 ports concurrently active at 8 Gbit/sec full duplex to
provide an aggregate bandwidth of 680 Gbit/sec. The
Brocade 5100 also enables organizations to use 4 Gbit/sec
SFPs today and upgrade to 8 Gbit/sec SFPs when required.
The Brocade 5100 utilizes ASIC technology featuring five 8port groups.

ENTERPRISE-CLASS AVAILABILITY FOR BUSINESS
CONTINUANCE
The Brocade 5100 provides a reliable foundation for disaster
recovery and business continuance by employing enterpriseclass availability features such as hot-swappable, redundant,
and integrated fan and power supply assemblies. Moreover,
hot code load and activation help maximize application uptime
with faster system upgrades and maintenance to reduce the
dependency on scheduled outages. Combined with a wide
range of diagnostic and monitoring functions, these
capabilities help provide a highly available SAN environment.
SUPERIOR ROI AND INVESTMENT PROTECTION
The Brocade 5100 utilizes the same Fabric OS that supports
the entire Brocade product family—from the 8-port Brocade
300 Switch to the 768-port Brocade DCX™ Backbone. This
helps ensure forward and backward compatibilit y among
Brocade solutions while simplifying maintenance and field
upgrades. Moreover, organizations can manage the Brocade
5100 with existing management applications such as Brocade
Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Manager (EFCM) and Brocade
Fabric Manager.
