Brocade 5300 是一款8 Gbps光纤通道交换机，可提供卓越的性能和端口密度，适用于要求最为苛刻的SAN环境。Brocade 5300采用高效的2U机架设计，端口最多达80个，因此，如果要在整个企业对数据中心进行更大规模的整合和虚拟化，这款解决方案将是理想选择。

适用于最苛刻环境的企业级交换机

Brocade 5300交换机采用了高效的2U机架设计，可配置48、64或80个端口，结合了1、2、4和8 Gbps技术。高端口密度、性能和“用多少，买多少”功能的结合能够提高服务器和存储资源利用率，同时降低虚拟数据中心的复杂性。

这一创新性设计使这款设备具备了非常高的功效、冷却效率和机架密度，可帮助实现大中型服务器和存储系统整合，可进一步节省成本，提高管理效率。Brocade 5300还采用了适应性网络功能，能够为关键任务数据中心应用提供最佳服务。

行业领先的性能和可扩展性

Brocade 5300采用了一种无阻塞架构，最多支持80个端口同时以8 Gbps（全双工）的速率运行，并且不会出现超量使用现象——总带宽高达640 Gbps。如此高的性能和连接简便性使它成了不断扩展的虚拟服务器环境中的理想选择。另外，增强型ISL干线合并功能可以在单一逻辑链路上提供最高达64 Gbps的平衡数据吞吐量。

Brocade 5300具有较高的端口密度，因此，只需较少的交换机（不到传统32或40端口边缘交换机所需交换机设备的一半）便可支持数据中心光纤网络核心部分的扇出。因此，它可以提供一个单域解决方案，既可简化Fabric架构的管理，又可减少占用的数据中心空间。

Brocade 5300具有按需端口扩展（Ports on Demand）（端口可由48个扩展至64或80个）等多种功能，因此，企业可以根据需要随时扩展自己的存储网络而不会影响业务正常运行。

为了支持SAN扩展，Brocade 5300允许将服务器和存储设备部署在相距600公里之外的地方，进而帮助企业实施最复杂的业务连续性和灾难恢复计划。

为了使用Fibre Channel over Ethernet（FCoE）和Converged Enhanced Ethernet（CEE）整合服务器连接，Brocade 5300可与Brocade 8000架顶式交换机全面兼容。

高级功能

Brocade 5300采用了最高用量者（Advanced Performance Monitoring的一个组成部分）和适应性网络服务—一套包括入站速率控制、流量隔离和服务质量（QoS）功能的工具。这些先进的功能可帮助优化Fabric架构的运行，确保关键任务应用可获得充足的带宽。

为了实现最大的灵活性，Brocade 5300可提供集成路由功能来连接不同Fabric架构中的交换机。此外，它还包含了一种Virtual Fabric架构特性，可以将物理SAN分为多个逻辑Fabric架构。这样就可以根据应用、业务部门、客户或流量类型实现Fabric隔离而不会降低性能、可扩展性、安全性或可靠性。

简化的部署和管理

Brocade交换机借助经济高效的管理解决方案来优化存储网络资源，提高效率，同时降低拥有成本。EZSwitchSetup向导的设计目的是使部署变得更加简单。在多交换机环境中，Brocade DCFM Professional可以简化管理，并对整个Fabric架构进行监控。

BROCADE光收发模块

Brocade 8Gbps交换机需要Brocade光收发模块。这种模块有多种型号，可以满足不同的速度和距离要求。这些小型可热插拔（SFP）模块最适合用于Brocade 8 Gbps产品，可以最有效地提高性能，降低功耗，帮助确保关键任务应用的最高可用性。
