  5. Fabric Switch Comparison NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW

  6. New 8 and 16 Port HP Packaging • SAN Switch 2/8V Base 2 Switch Limit • SAN Switch 2/8V PowerPak Full Fabric – FW, T, APM, ExF – No QL • SAN Switch 2/16V 2 Switch Limit • SAN Switch 2/16N FF Full Fabric • SAN Switch 2/16N PowerPak Full Fabric – FW, T, APM, ExF – No

  7. New 8 and 16 Port HP Promotions • Entry-level: • The (NEW) MSA1500 + 2/8v (Dazzler) soft bundle • Offer: 20% discount when ordered as a bundle. • 2. Mid-Range: • EVA3000 HA 2-for-1 SAN promotion • Offer: Customers get 2 switches for the price of 1 when ordered with the EVA3000. • Offer applies to Brocade Dazzler models only (2/8v, 2/16v, 2/16N). The idea is to encourage customers to deploy redundant fabrics.

  8. Introducing the SilkWorm 24000 DirectorThe Platform for The Data Center of the Future • Building on Brocade’s experience in the director market • Brocade gained 33% market share in Directors since introduction • More than 3,500 SilkWorm 12000 deployed • SW24000 Excels at Director basics • Scalability- 128 ports in a single domain • Performance- non-blocking full duplex with perf enhancing features • RAS- “five nines” of availability • SW24000 Offers Unique Capabilities • Brocade SilkWorm Family- compatibility and AFS • Investment protection- multiprotocol modular architecture • Intelligence in the fabric

  9. HP StorageWorks Brocade Switch & PowerPak Portfolio Element manager for managing small numbers of switches one at a time Proactive Threshold Monitor for the SAN Fabric, unique in the market and provides a Fix before Fail capability to the SAN and integration to HP OpenView Storage Area Manager A unique function providing detailed throughput statistics from host to storage without host based clients. Software for handling Fibre Channel extension over dark fiber, or WDM platforms. Functionality to support extension of SAN over bridging technologies Such as OC3/ATM and FCIP. core 2/64 32 -128 ports 14U Provides Hardware Enforced Zoning down to the WWN of the device being zoned. Maximum flexibility with Maximum Security. Integrated with HP OpenView Storage Area Manager The industry’s first SAN Security product providing the true Change Management Control capability required of every mission critical SAN deployment. Used to meet both the regulatory requirements of Financial, Insurance and Health Care industries as well as the industry “Best Practices” for Change Control in a production environment. SAN Switch 2/16 16 ports 1U SAN Switch 2/32 32 ports 1.5U The capability to aggregate from two to four ISLs into a single logical route between switches creating up to an 8.5 Gbit/sec link between switches. The only industry product that provides HW based Frame striping while still guaranteeing in order delivery of data. Software compatibility for legacy HP/UX private loop hosts.
