Description
The Brocade BR-5100 is a Fibre Channel SAN switch, purpose-built for storage networking environments, not standard Ethernet LAN networks.
It delivers 8Gb Fibre Channel performance and supports 24, 32, or 40 ports, with a pay-as-you-grow licensing model that allows gradual port activation as network demand increases.
Designed for midrange enterprise SAN deployments, the switch provides high-speed, low-latency connectivity between servers and storage systems such as SAN arrays and backup infrastructure.
With an aggregate bandwidth of up to 320 Gbps (40 ports × 8Gb), it ensures reliable data transfer for mission-critical applications.
The BR-5100 also features enterprise-class availability, including hot-swappable redundant power supplies and fans, ensuring continuous operation in critical environments.
It operates within Fibre Channel fabrics, supporting large-scale SAN architectures and advanced zoning for secure storage segmentation.
As a refurbished unit, it is commonly used in legacy storage environments or as a cost-effective expansion switch in existing SAN infrastructures.
