 Simplifies enterprise SAN deployment by combining higher edge switch port density with
exceptional scalability, performance and reliability
 Delivers 48, 72, or 96-ports in a 2U enclosure
 Provides 4 Gb/s, 8 Gb/s, 16
 Employs optional Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking to provide a high-speed data path between
switches which enables a high speed data path between 16 Gb/s switches up to 128 Gb/s
* 16 Gb/s performance can be obtained between two 16 Gb/s capable devices.

An ASIC based capability that enables new applications and features. The switch has the ability to
"view" the first 64 bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame Filtering enables advanced
capabilities such as Advanced Zoning and Advanced Performance Monitoring.
WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware that provides the same simple
administration previously enforced only with software. Administrators can organize a physical fabric
into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone.
Web Tools is an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface that enables organizations to monitor
and manage SAN fabrics. Tasks can be performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a
standard laptop, desktop PC or workstation from any location within the enterprise.
Enhanced Group Management (EGM) is a FOS license that is included with all B-Series switches and
enables multi-switch operations. It helps automate operations across multiple switches to save time
and streamline repetitive operations, which are typically prone to error. EGM drives consistency across
fabrics, while minimizing the risk associated with potential downtime due to configuration
