3900
32-port, auto-sensing Fibre Channel
switch provides an intelligent and
cost-effective solution to meet a
wide range of Storage Area
Network (SAN) requirements.
As the latest addition to the Brocade
2 Gbit/sec fabric switch family,
the SilkWorm 3900 is ideal for
organizations that face rapidly
changing storage requirements.
With the performance capabilities
of an enterprise switch and the
cost-effectiveness of a modular
switch solution, the SilkWorm 3900
enables a flexible SAN infrastructure.
Designed for midsize to large storage
networks, the SilkWorm 3900
enables organizations to implement a
SAN infrastructure that best meets
their current needs and expands
seamlessly as their storage requirements
evolve. The SilkWorm 3900 provides a
complete solution for a departmental
SAN fabric, as a small core, or an
edge switch extending the reach of
an enterprise core-to-edge SAN
built around Brocade SilkWorm
Directors (see Figure 1).
Based on a third-generation
Brocade intelligent architecture,
the SilkWorm 3900 provides a
highly available, scalable, and secure
foundation for SAN applications
such as high-speed data backup,
server and storage consolidation,
remote mirroring, and long-distance
data replication.

Highlights
• Provides 32 ports in a 1.5U enclosure
along with auto-sensing 1 and
2 Gbit/sec interfaces for seamless
integration with existing fabrics
• Leverages Brocade Advanced Fabric
Services to provide the highest
levels of SAN performance, security,
and manageability
• Meets mission-critical availability
requirements with network resiliency,
automatic data path rerouting, hot
code activation, and redundant,
hot-pluggable components
• Increases performance by employing
Brocade Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking
to create a data path with up to
8 Gbit/sec throughput per trunk
• Provides substantial cost savings by
supporting a SAN infrastructure that
increases productivity, maximizes IT
resource utilization, and reduces
capital expenditures
• Supports FICON
